The Frenchman who secured victory in the World Cup has purportedly communicated his desire to depart from the Parisian squad this summer. Real Madrid stands as the primary contender to enlist him once he becomes a free agent at the season’s end, presenting a significant setback for PSG. However, the repercussions could extend to the league itself. According to AS, Ligue 1 faces potential losses exceeding €140m (£120m/$151m) in TV broadcasting rights over the next five years.
The report indicates that the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) is currently in talks regarding the rights for the French top flight for the period of 2024-2029. The absence of Mbappe in their roster weakens their bargaining position in these negotiations. Consequently, there’s a possibility that the value of TV rights might diminish by up to 20 per cent from the initially anticipated amount during the initial stages of the negotiation process. This setback will significantly impact both PSG and the league as a whole, affecting their capacity to attract new players and generate revenue.
Reportedly, Mbappe, aged 25, is requesting an annual sum of €70m (£60m/$76m) along with a transfer bonus of €125m (£107m/$136m) to join Real Madrid. The Los Blancos are eager to anoint Mbappe as their next ‘Galactico,’ yet reaching agreement on personal terms has proven challenging.
Negotiations among all concerned parties are expected to persist in the ensuing weeks, potentially accompanied by additional complications and developments. Meanwhile, on the field, PSG is scheduled to face Nantes in Ligue 1 this Saturday, followed by a home encounter against Rennes on February 26th.
