In a surprising twist, European Super League CEO Bernd Reichart has unveiled that certain clubs have covertly expressed support for the breakaway tournament, contradicting their public disapproval. Despite widespread criticism from traditional powerhouses like the Premier League’s top six and Atletico Madrid, the CEO remains confident in the league’s prospects.
Reichart, speaking to COPE’s El Partidazo, shed light on the ongoing dynamics, stating, “Today many clubs have made statements in which we continue to see the long arm of a 70-year-old monopoly.” He emphasized the need for dialogue and persuasion, assuring that the Super League aims to unite rather than divide.
The bigger picture reveals the league’s ambitious plans for funding, with Reichart asserting that they will provide the best football globally for free, backed by substantial advertising revenue. He dispelled notions of Saudi involvement, affirming the financial backing from European and American investors.
Looking ahead, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona stand firm in their support for the ESL, signaling a potential shift in the league’s favor. As the controversy unfolds, the future of this breakaway tournament remains uncertain, with heavyweight clubs potentially swaying the tide in its favor.
