The LFP lives again in troubled waters. While Canal+ volunteered to distribute the future chain, Maxime Saada ended the suspense yesterday in an interview with the Team by announcing that the encrypted chain was withdrawing from negotiations: “We informed the League this Friday. It is a missed meeting, Canal+ throws in the towel. We have chosen to give up. To date, we consider that the conditions are not met for Canal+ to distribute the new platform of the Ligue 1.”
“The 100% European Cups Pass is € 10 with us. It is difficult to see how to sell a chain that does not have the entire L1 the first year (8 matches out of 9 per day) around 20 €, as mentioned by the League. It’s too high. We must collectively learn from Dazn’s failure with its offer launched between 30 and 40 € per month. There is no security given to the distributor on the rest of the matches. We are told that everything can be subsidied, with a paid chain, to a clear chain, at any time and the choice of the LFP … If you agree to sell a product at a price and that the product is no longer the same then, it is a problem “he said like that.
14.99 euros per month and 9.99 for those under 26?
Not enough to shoot the league. The latter would consider that Canal+ would have “walked the clubs” and did not have a real intention to commit according to The Sports Daily. The LFP, according to the sports daily, reveals that it was ready to make efforts in particular on the co-division of the poster on Sunday evening for two seasons while waiting for a financial effort of Canal+ on the next two.
In terms of prices, a new disagreement is to put between the two parties since the LFP provides for a launch offer at 14.99 euros per month and a preferential rate at 9.99 euros for children under 26. Dazn’s errors will therefore not be repeated according to the media. The LFP platform will therefore be launched with eight matches broadcast on nine, BeIN Sports still holding the poster of Saturday afternoon while having the entirety in a year.
Two companies have been retained after a tender for production and will have to be decided. A device which must be presented Tuesday by Nicolas de Tavernost during the Ligue 1 college. Case to follow.
To summarize
After the official withdrawal of Canal+ negotiations, the LFP is preparing to launch its own chain. Nicolas de Tavernost will present the system on Tuesday during a Ligue 1 college, with the price of the subscription already known.
