Big Mac attack: McDonald’s to become the Grand Fromage in French football

McDonald’s will become the title sponsor of the French soccer league from July for the next three seasons. The fast-food chain is succeeding Uber Eats as the title sponsor of Ligue 1. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. L’Equipe newspaper says McDonald’s will pay 30 million euros per season. The sports outlet says the food delivery service Uber Eats pays about 16 million euros per season. The new sponsorship deal is a welcomed boost for the league, which is expected to financially suffer from the departure of its biggest star _ Kylian Mbappe _ at the end of the season. The Paris Saint-Germain star forward has announced he will leave PSG, with Real Madrid in pole position to recruit him.
