The French Basketball League (LNB) is addressing the economic crisis of AS Monaco Basket, facing significant financial difficulties. The club is on the verge of being taken over by the Principality, which would allow it to regain control of the team. The LNB's president, Philippe Ausseur, has discussed the situation in detail, highlighting the need for a thorough analysis of the club's financial situation. The planned video conference between AS Monaco and the DNCCG has been postponed due to timing issues. The LNB's position is to remain neutral and positive, focusing on the quality of the takeover dossier rather than the quality of the potential buyer. The league is interested in seeing a successful takeover that would allow Monaco to continue competing in the championship, ensuring the integrity of the league and the presence of players on the court. The takeover must also respect the rules and regulations of the Ligue Nationale Basket, including the luxury tax.
