In an interview with
L'Equipe
, Jaume Roures, the boss of Mediapro, indicates that he wants to revise the Ligue 1 broadcasting contract downwards. “We want to discuss this season's contract (with the LFP).
She is very affected by Covid-19, everyone knows that because everyone is suffering.
We are not calling into question the project as such.
But the bars and restaurants are closed, advertising has collapsed ... These are things that everyone knows (...) We do not have a concrete amount.
We want to renegotiate the price.
We have asked to establish a timetable to complete this negotiation which will not be public ... The League itself asked the government to compensate for its losses because of the Covid ... We are in this dynamic ", explains Roures.
The initial contract provides for Mediapro to write a check for 780 million euros for L1 and 34 million euros for L2 for the 2020-21 season.
