Disney+ is reportedly showing strong interest in acquiring Aurelien Tchouaméni’s podcast show, “The Bridge,” as the streaming giant continues to expand its sports and entertainment content.
The Real Madrid midfielder’s podcast has attracted attention beyond the football world, with Disney+ now said to be exploring the possibility of bringing “The Bridge” onto its platform.
The show, hosted by Tchouaméni, has featured conversations around football, culture and life beyond the pitch, helping the midfielder establish himself as a media personality alongside his career in football.
A potential deal with Disney+ would represent a major step for the podcast and could give the programme access to a significantly wider international audience.
No agreement has been officially confirmed at this stage, but Disney+’s reported interest highlights the growing commercial value of athlete-led podcasts and digital media ventures.
