Although the rejection has been almost absolute, the Super League has made it clear that they trust that the clubs will open their eyes and join the project. Some have left the door open and others have not made an official statement.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The answer to the Superliga European has been, practically, refusal in his whole. In addition to the evident and expected rejection by part of the competitions and organisms rectors of the football, have been a lot of the clubs that have manifested that they do not want that it produce the tournament contrived by Florentino Pérez and backed by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. From the five big Leagues, have appeared an infinity of communiqués with which the teams oponen to the proposal.

The situation is worrisome for the impulsores of the Superliga, but understand that it still is very soon and that anything could happen, especially because they keep the wish of 'finish' with the monopoly and abuse of power of FIFA and UEFA. The next weeks will be key and will give a track on the future of the competition, that could add his first allies for the cause. And it can be the turning point that so much need Barça and Madrid.

Two allies in Italy

For example, from Napoli have left the open door to the possibility to participate. The president of the club, Aurelio Of Laurentiis, commented recently that "the first (the first proposal) was a mistaken movement, that, however, carried to this change. Now it is necessary to do a serious reasoning", adding that "I spoke with Florentino Pérez and agree in putting in the same table to the employers for real and no to the nominal presidents. The football is administered by people without vision".

Another possible ally would be the AC Milan, that has revealed his official posture through his director Paolo Scaroni. The day of yesterday commented that "I have read the press release of twenty lines, that is not sufficient to express final opinions. We have initiated the process of analysis with all the organisms, beginning by the Series To. This afternoon it celebrated a meeting of the managerial board, but is too prompt to express a concrete opinion", affirming that "the Italian football is losing terrain. Never we have had any profit. Had one that was the use of preferential taxes for the foreign players and removed it to us. I expect that the government and the parliament investigate this problem and solve it in brief, because it would be a hard hit for all the Series To".

The silence of the Juventus

What has surprised in these last hours is the silence that have kept from the Juventus, that have not pronounced to date. It is worth it to remember that, while Andrea Agnelli was in the club, went one of the clubs that more insisted in the creation of the Superliga. With the changes to the project and in spite of that has gone up the cotización of the club in the stock exchange (+5,4%), have not communicated if they will support or no to the competition. They are looking for to keep a relation 'healthy' with the UEFA.
