Overview
- Ineos has hired Lazard to run the process, with the target valuation reduced from earlier expectations of up to €250 million.
- Bloomberg reporting cited by UK outlets says the price cut reflects muted buyer interest linked to Ligue 1's broadcast uncertainty.
- DAZN's aborted deal left the league distributing rights itself, clouding revenue forecasts that prospective owners weigh heavily.
- UEFA multi-club ownership rules previously forced structural changes at Nice and triggered a temporary block on transfers to Manchester United.
- Performance pressures persist, with Nice sitting 14th in Ligue 1 last reported and United coming off a 15th-place finish, as Ineos trims other sports commitments.
