“Most important today, at the request of the conciliator, we found a process of discussions with the LFP.
It will remain confidential.
We won a tender that was not overpaid.
€ 820 million for 85% of L1 and 80% of L2.
Chinese shareholders had not yet entered Mediapro at that time.
We stick to the project we launched.
We maintain it.
The Covid has been there, the audiences have decreased.
The lack of public in the stadium does not promote subscriptions contrary to what one might have thought.
We wanted to see how to talk about it with the LFP without postponing the commitment made in May 2018. We think that all this noise around it does not benefit anyone.
Everyone is in more difficulty.
For a fundraising it is worse, to have subscribers it is worse.
The process of discussions with the LFP, found thanks to the conciliator, will last several weeks.
I remind you that we must keep a certain confidentiality.
We tried to find an agreement with Canal +.
We are still in discussions with them ... Our contract with the C1 with RMC Sport is not half, it is not € 175 million, Canal is already paying them 100 million.
It's public, isn't it?
Sometimes I read things that shock me.
Someone said we have 200k subscribers.
We have a lot more, ”said on Wednesday during a press conference Jaume Roures, boss of Mediapro, the main broadcaster of Ligue 1 and in conflict with the LFP due to the non-payment of the second installment provided for these last days.
Mediapro says it has around 600,000 subscribers today

Mediapro says it is maintaining its Téléfoot channel project for 4 years, as planned.
And see with the LFP how to maintain this project.
