The plans for the European Super League have returned, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus leading the movement. The trio has contacted over 50 clubs in order to create a league with 60-80 teams.
Their plan remains to replace UEFA and the Champions League and generate more revenue for participating teams.
European Super League returns with new plans
The new competition would exist with open qualification and no fixed positions. Moreover, it would also build on the national leagues as the base level of competition.
Teams would also be guaranteed 14 European games and there will be a greater degree of transparency and distribution of revenue among the participating clubs.

It would also oversee player health, and cater to the values and restrictions of the European Union. The European Super League will also aim to provide the best fan experience possible, and aim to be the best competition in the world.
FIFA and UEFA have warned clubs to not go into the breakaway competition. In particular, the Premier League are working to pass a restriction that will forbid their clubs from participating in the tournament. With the plans for the Super League gaining traction quite fast, a huge conflict can be expected with UEFA for the Champions League to be done away with.
Even though there is a format change set to happen in the near future (similar to that of the original Super League plans), we could be set for a massive overhaul if the new plans come to fruition.
