Florentino Pérez, president of the European Super League and from Real Madrid, gave an interview to the French newspaper L’Equipe this noon to explain the new project on the sidelines of the UEFA and he referred to two of the main clubs that are not part of the 12 founders: Bayern Y PSG. However, the creation of the Super League is in question because Chelsea Y Manchester City have decided to leave the competition and according to English media other clubs in the Premier they could add to the scared. In this regard, Florentino indicated that he is “not” concerned that someone will leave the competition. “No one was pressured. The situation is so serious that everyone agrees with the project and with looking for a solution ”.
“We need to invite PSG Y Bayern at the right time, there is a lot of pressure on them right now. I am sure that in the end they will join us but we have not spoken with them yet ”, said Florentino Pérez, who maintains his speech about the need for a change in European football to adapt to the new times.
“By generating more income, we will be able to increase solidarity. At present, the UEFA pays just over 100 million euros for solidarity, while we will pay more than 400 million euros from the beginning, “said the president of the Super League. “We are not against football, we want to save it. If we do nothing, we will all be dead in 2024. The current equation is reform or die and the president of the UEFA prefer to die “
“The Real Madrid has the historical responsibility of changing, in due course, the reality of football that is slowly dying. The pandemic is ruining us all. By making this proposal, our goal is to save football. Some say that the rich want to get even richer and make the poor poorer. It's the opposite, “he said in the newspaper L’Equipe.
“When you have money, you can show solidarity with everyone. But, with its monopoly, the UEFA you don't want to change anything because you have your privileges. Football is dying little by little. With us, the smaller clubs will receive much more money ”, he added.
