Press review: Skriniar set to leave PSG, Ligue1+ under fire | OneFootball

This Thursday, July 31, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the almost official departure of Milan Skriniar (30-year-old defender) to Fenerbahçe. There is also a mention of the Ligue de Football Professionnel, which must fight against Canal+ and beIN SPORTS for the launch of its Ligue1+ channel.

No article about PSG.

L’Equipe –

Skriniar’s transfer is not yet official, but the Turkish club has published a statement to announce his arrival in Istanbul for his medical examination. So, it would take a very bad surprise for the deal not to be finalized in the next few hours. This is good news: Paris is offloading one of its biggest salaries (around 16 million euros per season), with a sale of about 10 million euros for a player who arrived on a free transfer and was unable to secure a place in Paris.

As for the Ligue1+ channel, obstacles and protests were expected. But not really such a struggle with Canal+ and beIN SPORTS, especially since there was the idea of working together. But everyone wants to fight for money and every discussion is complicated. We hope to soon see unity and calm return around French football.
