The reason behind PSG and German clubs not joining the European Super League

With the frenzy of the European Super League gripping the footballing world, there has been mass outrage from fans of the 12 participating clubs. The same cannot be extended for French and German clubs because they are not included in the list of invitees for the founding clubs of the Super League. 

Hence, European Giants like Bayern Munich and PSG have been left out. Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, both of whom have had a history of participating in European football, have also not been included.

In the case of Paris Saint-Germain, there are a lot of things to consider. The club is owned by Qatar Sports Investments and the president of the club is Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Both of them have strong links UEFA and FIFA. Their BeIN Sports company holds TV rights to the Champions League, while Qatar itself will host the World Cup in 2022.

Both UEFA and FIFA have shown their disapproval of the Super League concept and Al-Khelaifi maintains a good relationship with UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin.

There are rumours that Al-Khelaifi might be next in line to take over as the president of the European Clubs Association (ECA) after Andrea Agnelli moved to join the Super League.

In Germany, though, the situation is quite different. Bundesliga clubs share a close relationship with their fans, and they own the majority stakes of the clubs which is something that RB Leipzig loopholed, and is the reason why they are so hated in the country.

Borussia Dortmund CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, revealed that both his club and Bayern had rejected offers to join the Super League. The Dortmund ultras have also spoken out on their wishes to not participate in the Super League. 

Bayern Munich are also against the idea of participating in the Super League despite them being one of the biggest clubs in the continent.
