Just found this on Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/exclusive-dazn-nears-deal-buy-bt-sport-an-estimated-800-mln-sources-2022-01-12/ What does this mean for the future of BT Sport and subscribers.

These rumours have been going on for months, and it's been discussed on here many times.
Any comments about this article would just be speculation.

Still a rumour. One news source will claim to have sources, and other news sources report that one as their source.

Nothing is confirmed unless a statement is made.

@Anonymous Discovery Networks are also still in the running but their being ignored by the media. The reports about DAZN seem to have originated from one source and have been picked up by the tabloids... As Darren says, nothing is definite until a press release is made.

@NigelB72 Yes I seen that Discovery are still in the running, and Dazn are not confirmed by anyone. But surely there’s no smoke without fire. Guess we will have to wait until we all know for sure..
