Fears of a conflict of interest arise as PSG president also leads broadcasting negotiations for Ligue 1 games. FMTNews NasserAlKhelaifi
April 12, 2020 7:34 AMPARIS: Paris St Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi has been accused of becoming embroiled in a conflict of interest in a dispute over television payments to French football clubs facing a financial crisis in the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite that, Al-Khelaifi has been mandated by the French league along with three other club presidents to lead negotiations with Canal Plus in an attempt to convince them to pay up. “It is incomprehensible. The attitude of Canal Plus and beIN towards the league is also Nasser’s attitude. He is not a third party who has come out of nowhere.”
Mediapro, which is Chinese-owned, bought up the bulk of the domestic rights to Ligue 1 for four years starting next season. The total deal is worth a record €1.15 billion a year, with beIN paying a minority of that amount. However, leading voices at other clubs have dismissed fears of a conflict of interest in the case of Al-Khelaifi.
