TO AVOID MILLIONAIRE SANCTIONS
The Super League clause that would allow 'deserters' to skip compensation
The nine clubs that withdrew from the Super League project have sent their termination letter to formalize their departure. Likewise, they adhere to a clause that establishes that the approval of 70% or more of the clubs would leave them exempt from any penalty
The official announcement of the Superliga European in April of 2021 took by surprise to the world of the football in front of what supposes an initiative to change radically the current model of the sport in Europe. In that then, in addition to the FC Barcelona, the Real Madrid and the Juventus, there was other nine clubs impulsores of the project: Athletic of Madrid, AC Milan, Inter of Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Of progressive way, these institutions would finish for withdrawing his support to the initiative, leaving alone to the three that today continue in foot. However, this action could involve severe financial cautions after having signed in a principle the agreement. These could reach montos that oscillate around the 200 and 300 million euros, information that was desestimada by some clubs.
In accordance with the information of 'The Partidazo of COPE', the teams mentioned have remitted his letter of rescission to manifest formally his abandonment of the project, to the time that become attached to a clause established in the agreement, indicating that any of them will have to disburse the mount corresponding to the fine, since it treats of a retreat of more than the 70 % of the teams involved, as it is stipulated.
The fact that nine of the twelve clubs have retractado of his support to the Superliga supposes a 75 % of them, that in addition to withdrawing are giving his approval to the exit of each one of them, by what, in theory, would be exentos to disburse the montos estratosféricos established in the initial pact. Of this way, the clubs that follow supporting the initiative, Barça, Madrid and Juve, would be losing margin of manoeuvre.
The next steps of the Superliga
However, this exit of the nine clubs mentioned still has not been formalised. For this will be precise that the 12 clubs gather again. By his part, there has not been any pronouncement of Florentino Pérez until the moment, to the time that the main impulsores of this project continue waiting for the dictamen final of the Court of Luxembourg that would determine if the UEFA would have incurred or no in actions monopolistas.
