According to the Sun, the remaining supporting clubs of the European Super League have decided to relaunch the competition. However, the English clubs have been completely excluded from this plan.
Manchester United fans will never forget the Glazers’ choice to enter this new competition in 2021. Fans protested for many hours, forcing Ed Woodward to resign as CEO. Due to legal disputes with UEFA and the remaining clubs, some Premier League teams have since left the league, although little has changed since then.
The Super League’s surviving clubs reportedly want to restart the league. As Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus persist in their efforts to establish a rival continental competition to the UEFA Champions League, rumours of a new European Super League (ESL) format have emerged.
The ESL will reportedly feature 60–80 teams in a four-tier system. Without the privilege of founding members, every category would be established solely on sporting ability and merit. The sports marketing company A22, with offices in Madrid, reportedly cited the financial success of the English clubs as the reason for the new league, which will not include any Premier League teams.
They are attempting to create a competition that is distinct from UEFA competitions like the Champions League and Europa League.
Between 60 and 80 teams from across Europe would participate in the new multi-divisional league. Due to the dominance of Premier League clubs in terms of transfer spending, A22 has contacted more than 50 clubs. Chelsea recently spent £323 million in the January transfer window.
Following several months of legal disputes, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in December that FIFA has the last say in whether any new tournament is permitted.
Premier League clubs United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool had initially decided to be a part of the ESL in 2021, but they abruptly withdrew hours later.
