An FFF alternative was to ask Monaco to pay €200m as compensation of sorts, but both ideas were rejected and Monaco instead moved the French Council of State.

Monaco administrator Willy De Bruyn was quoted in L'Equipe as saying: "Monaco cannot consider such an eventuality.
"After consultation with the club's higher authorities, it was decided that we could not, in any case, comply and move our headquarters to France.
