According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus President Andrea Agnelli will unveil a project for a new Super League during the Business of Football Summit today.
The first project for a breakaway Super League was first unveiled in April 2021, but collapsed within 48 hours. It had been presented by 12 of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Juventus, Milan and Inter.
Premier League clubs withdrew from the project a few hours after the official unveiling, but plans for an alternative European competition have continued. On paper, Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only clubs still involved in the project. La Gazzetta reports that Agnelli and Florentino Perez have been working on an alternative plan which will be unveiled by the Old Lady’s chairman at the Financial Times’ Business of Football Summit today.
It would be a project slightly different from the original one. Similarly to the UEFA Nations League, it would have promotions and relegations. There could be 24 clubs gaining direct access to the competition every season, based on the results of the previous European campaign, plus eight clubs qualifying from the league. However, it’s still unclear how clubs could secure their spot from national competitions and Agnelli is likely to provide further updates today.
