According to the newspaper “AS”, from Spain, Mbappé’s possible departure could reduce the total value of the television offer by 20%, as the player, just by staying in Paris, contributes 140 million euros in television rights to the League French.

Furthermore, the President of the French professional football league, Vincent Labrune, launched in September a first offer, whose initial price was in the region of 1,000 million euros, for national and international rights, meeting with the refusal of all parties, reluctant to pay the aforementioned amount without guaranteeing Mbappé’s presence. 

Canal +, holder of broadcasting rights for more than two decades, withdrew its application, claiming that “rugby is more interesting than football” for its customers.
