Gathered this Monday in a general assembly, the members of the LFP unanimously validated the loan of 112ME negotiated by Vincent Labrune. A sum to which is added 71ME paid by Canal +, BeInSports and Free.
Faced with Mediapro’s refusal to pay the 172ME of the October deadline for the rights to Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, which Jaume Roures’ group owns until 2024, the Professional Football League was met in assembly general this Monday in Paris. On the menu of this meeting, the loan negotiated by the LFP to save the essential. In the absence of the money promised by Mediapro, Vincent Labrune has indeed obtained a unanimously favorable vote to validate the loan of 112ME negotiated for several days. Last Thursday, the board of directors of the LFP had accepted for its part the principle of this essential credit to clubs, some of which were wondering how salaries could be paid in the coming days.
In addition to these saving 112ME, club managers can also count on the 71ME paid on the scheduled date, early October, by the other broadcasters of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships, namely Canal +, BeInSports and Free. This obviously allows everyone to breathe, even if from December the problem may arise again, Mediapro having to settle on December 5 the third expiry of its contract with the LFP. By then, the Professional Football League hopes to shake things up through various legal actions to force the Sino-Spanish group to settle the bill.
