European Super League CEO: Unnamed Clubs Want To Play

European Super League CEO: Unnamed Clubs Want To Play

European Super League CEO Bernd Reichart has revealed some clubs have given their support to the competition despite publicly pulling out.

European Court of Justice ruled that FIFA and UEFA blocking the competition was contrary to EU low, which would allow the tournament to be resurrected.

A number of Europe's top clubs have since released statements claiming they will not be participating in the Super League, including Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.

Reichart, however, claims some clubs have called him to say they still support the idea.

"Today many clubs have made statements in which we continue to see the long arm of a 70-year-old monopoly.," the CEO told COPE's El Partidazo.

"Do we doubt that UEFA puts pressure on the clubs? Give them time and let us convince the clubs. We are going to convince the clubs. The best clubs in Europe. I promise you that today's football is neither in love nor loyal to the end with the monopoly."

"I have spoken with many clubs today, but we have not tried to negotiate to close agreements. Another era of dialogue begins and at a given moment we are going to communicate the clubs that are going to constitute the Super League. We are not going to force the clubs to say today 'I am here.' We are not here to create walls. This is to unite, not to divide," he added.

"Some of the clubs that said 'no' today have called me to explain themselves. 'They said 'no', but they said 'here we are.'"
