Paris Saint-Germain would be the biggest winner from any new investment in French soccer’s television rights, under plans being drawn up by the sport’s top league in the country, according to people familiar with the matter.
Ligue de Football Professionnel, which is reviewing non-binding offers from investors for a stake in a TV rights unit, plans to distribute the entity’s future revenues to Ligue 1 clubs via three different groupings, they said.
PSG, home to stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar, would receive the most money as the sole team in a top group — in recognition of its position as one of the leading lights of global soccer, the people said.
