Due to insufficient broadcast revenue, most Ligue 1 teams have no money to buy people, and they are all cutting budgets.

Hupu September 3rd News French Media Newspaper wrote a French Ligue 1 summer window column.

In fact, this year's French Ligue 1 summer window is more blander than before, because except for Paris FC + Paris + Strasbourg, other teams have almost no money to spend.

For example, in Toulouse, the team had to wait until defender Jedi Canvo sold to Crystal Palace for 23 million euros + 3.5 million euros bonus + 15% second transfer before completing the final reinforcement on Monday (forward Emerson, 3.2 million euros, excluding bonus).

This situation has prompted French clubs that lack exposure to be more patient in signings. “We have seen this every year since the TV rights crisis, but this is especially true this summer,” confirmed a broker familiar with the French market.

Brest usually signs at the last moment after reducing his lineup and selling out his people. In addition to Shottal, who was introduced before, there are four players joining on the last day.

One of the people familiar with the matter said, "The price eventually dropped to hundreds of thousands of euros because Brest's budget is limited."

A good seller cannot bring Brest more room for operation. The person familiar with the matter recalled that it was first to "fill in the gap left by the television broadcast rights." Brest fans are puzzled by this, and even head coach Eric Roy was surprised after his success in the Champions League.

Selling players was a solution, Angers decided to sell Esteban Le Paul, who transferred to Rennes for 13.5 million euros (excluding bonuses).

But this did not stop Angers from a bleak summer window: the French Professional Football League (LFP) did not approve the formal loan application for Labo Lascari (who earned less than 40,000 euros in Lons) due to DNCG's control over its payroll. Steve Munier (Augsburg)'s joining was cancelled for the same reason.

"The signing of Ligue 1 can only take a different approach." Its boss Saïd Chabane warned in the spring. Other solutions include loan (Elway Coffey) and free agent introduction (Louis Muton).

Lorient also took the same measure, recalling goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo, whose contract expired in June, a win-win transfer.

Finally, despite changes in management, Le Havre's total wages fell by 15%. Ausselle, Metz and Nantes have a little more cash and are more cautious in management, so the profit margin is slightly larger. Their plan is to renew the contract with the team core as much as possible to maintain the strength of the lineup.
