Without any contract having yet been signed, beIN
Sports has settled its October deadline. Its management nevertheless has its demands and does not intend to give up.
The television rights drama will therefore never end in France. BeIN Sportswhich broadcasts a poster of each day of Ligue 1 McDonald's since the start of the season following an agreement of €98.5 per year (€78.5 million in rights and €20 million in sponsorship) still maintains a relationship under high tension with the Professional Football League. The Franco-Qatari broadcaster, according to
The Teamfeels wronged or even mistreated by the LFP in relation to the joint efforts made with DAZN and would require certain changes.
Its management complains in particular about the scheduling of the days, judging that it does not really benefit from the posters (choice 1 or 2) which it is supposed to have. Likewise, she always wishes to have the possibility of co-broadcasting her meeting with another organization in order to reduce her bill.
BeIN Sports would particularly like to reconnect with
Canal+. However, this is not envisaged by the League and its leaders. All this means that the contract between the two parties has still not been signed despite the first payments.
Indeed, despite its demands, the Qatari channel paid its dues. This gesture, regardless of the month of delay, would be seen as a step taken towards the LFP to move forward in the negotiations. Still according to information from the French sports daily, she paid the bill of 15.7 million euros which she had to pay in October. This amount paid should not be redistributed to clubs before mid-November.
