Ligue 1 – Ligue 2: Medriapro paid the first draft of his contract with the LFP

A good thing done. This Thursday, the new Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 broadcaster, Mediapro, paid the first draft of his contract to the Professional Football League (LFP). That is to say the equivalent of 172.3 M € TTC, learns the daily newspaper L’Equipe this morning. The Sino-Spanish group, which holds the rights to the French pro championships until 2024, settled its first deal one day in advance, like the other broadcasters such as Canal + (€ 67.7 million), Free (8 , 5 M €) and beIN SPORTS (9 M €).

“Excellent news”

As a reminder, French football must pocket a total of 1.25 billion euros this season. That is an increase of around 70% compared to the previous contract of around € 728 million, says L’Equipe. This payment was received as a relief by the hexagonal leaders. “This is excellent news”, for example enthusiastic Stéphanois Bernard Caïazzo. “I have always had confidence in Medrapro, despite the doubts that hovered around their ability to pay”, for his part reacted the Rémois Jean-Pierre Caillot.
