In light of recent reports about the European Super League, the whole football community seems to be unified in opposition to it.
The project's chairman and major proponent, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, says it is a vital step forward for the sport and that it will save football.'
Perez addressed the Super League, the ideas behind it, and even the opinions of the founding members. He also provided a message indicating that Barcelona president Joan Laporta will discuss the idea shortly.
Barcelona's financial problems have put them in jeopardy, and despite his early opposition to the idea, Laporta appears to have altered his mind. The Super League, on the other hand, is vehemently opposed for a variety of valid reasons.
In the world-recording interview, Perez stated that football was stagnant and that this movement will assist clubs in recouping lost income as a result of the epidemic that has plagued everyone. He continued by mentioning Laporta.
'It wasn't tough to persuade Laporta; that doesn't happen when you talk to responsible individuals.' Barcelona is in a poor financial situation and is aware that this will be the case in the future.
'It saves everyone's money, and it preserves football,' Perez added.
He went on to explain that Laporta will also clarify the stance of all the founder teams and address the European Super League today, April 20th.
Why is this happening now?
"The establishment of the Super League comes at a time when the worldwide pandemic has increased the instability in the present European football business model," the teams claim. Furthermore, the Founding Clubs have had the goal for a number of years of enhancing the level and intensity of current European tournaments throughout each season, as well as providing a structure for elite clubs and players to participate on a regular basis.
The epidemic has demonstrated the importance of a strategic vision and a long-term commercial approach in order to increase value and support for the benefit of the whole European football pyramid.
Sky Sports News correspondent Kaveh Solhekol, on the other hand, claims that this is happening now for one purpose and one reason alone.
It's occurring today because we've had a global epidemic, and the finances of Europe's top clubs have taken a blow, he explained.
If they participate in this new tournament, they would receive a cheque for £250m-£300m to begin with, and they will receive three times as much money every season in the future as they do in the Champions League.
You're looking at £200m-£250m in TV rights; they'll be able to sell part of the rights to the games itself on their own channels, as well as global broadcast rights.
