While the General Assembly of the LFP validated a loan of 120 million euros and that at the same time Mediapro summoned the media on Wednesday for a long-awaited conference,

tells us that Canal + is following the file closely.

Indeed, according to a letter dated October 8, the day after the interview with Jaume Roures, the boss of Mediapro, in the columns of the sports newspaper to ask for a discount to the League on TV rights 2020-2024, Canal a notified the LFP that the rules should be the same for everyone.

Canal wants to ease tensions with the LFP

Thus, if Mediapro ever obtains the agreement of the LFP to renegotiate its contract downwards, the encrypted channel directed by Maxime Saada would demand that it be the same with his.

The latter would also have reiterated this wish verbally last week, during a meeting scheduled between the leader of Canal + and the new president of the League Vincent Labrune.

Maxime Saada would also have assured the French authorities that his channel had the desire to be part of sport in the long term while easing past tensions with the League in order to build a more serene relationship in the future.
