In an interview with the team, the boss of the LFP Vincent Labrune explained that he was ready to leave his post, if necessary, in order to allow Canal + to position himself to recover the diffusion rights of the French championship

“” Without betraying secret, I sent the message to Canal+, from last May, that if I was the problem, I was ready to withdraw to promote their arrival at the right price. This is not the return I had. In no case should I be an obstacle to anything. I am guided by the general interest and not by my personal case. he granted to the newspaper the team.

Labrune supports Nasser Al-Khelaifi

Strongly criticized for several weeks to have too much impact in French football, Nasser Al-Khelaifi can count on the support of the president of the LFP Vincent Labrune who considers that PSG and Qataris do a lot to improve League 1. For him,

“I logically thank those who give money. I am well educated. Afterwards, the reproaches that I am made on my links with Nasser and Qatar are absolutely incomprehensible. What are we talking about? We are talking about slander and fantasies. I remind you that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi did not argue me when I was a candidate for the league president in 2020, and that it was I who ended, in 2023, to the Bein's marketing contract concerning the international TV rights they had for almost 10 years. It's a fact. And another fact is that Qatar, as you like or not, is a major investor in French football for 14 years. On the subject of TV rights even if some are disappointed and I am a part, Bein participates up to 210 million euros in a particularly sluggish market. In addition, they are not forced to give 40 million euros on the L2 when they are the only candidates. he launched.

Before continuing: »Nasser's weight? To thank people who participate in our economy is not to be submitted. I am not subservient to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. This completely false idea is not built on anything and it is completely defamatory. Besides, I will file a complaint against certain banners placed in the OL stadium last Sunday, which report “corruption” on my part by Nasser al-Khelaïfi. It's absolutely scandalous, not to say more. »»
