If the French transfer window is still on hold, that of TV rights is all that there is more active. According to Les Echos , the Mediapro channel, Téléfoot, diffuser of the Ligue 1 for the next four seasons, could share the cake of the Champions League and the Europa League 2020-21 with RMC Sport. With an impact for the viewer. Instead of the 25.99 euros initially planned to afford Téléfoot, it will take five more with European competitions, unless you commit to a year with the channel to reduce the price to 25.99.

Win-win

The outlines of the deal are as follows: Mediapro is supporting a large part of the 350 million euros that the European Cups cost RMC Sport, whose costs the Altice group intends to reduce. Jaume Roures' group does not do that with good grace. By winning the C1 for a year, the latter will become the main football offer on TV in France for the season to follow. A significant springboard to get started in France, although a little expensive: Mediapro has already promised 800 million euros per year for Ligue 1. It's expensive for the trampoline.
