The European Super League has reportedly sent a letter to FIFA and the UEFA, asking for co-operation, confirming ‘legal action to nullify’ threats.
The Mirror, via PA, has published a letter from the European Super League, as 12 founding clubs have decided to break away to create a new competition.
Juventus, Inter and Milan are the three Italian clubs joining the Super League, but the Bianconeri couldn't guarantee the project would be successfully launched and the decision has been condemned by the UEFA and FIFA.
The European Super League asks for co-operation from UEFA and FIFA, but is still ‘concerned’ and legally armed.
“We are concerned that FIFA and UEFA may respond to this invitation letter by seeking to take punitive measures to exclude any participating club or player from their respective competitions,” the letter read, according to The Mirror.
“We hope that is not your response to this letter and that, like us, your organisations will recognise the immediate benefits of the competition established by SLCo.
“We also seek your cooperation and support on how the competition can be brought within the football ecosystem and work with us to achieve that objective.
“Your formal statement does, however, compel us to take protective steps to secure ourselves against such an adverse reaction, which would not only jeopardise the funding commitment under the grant but, significantly, would be unlawful.
“For this reason, SLCo has filed a motion before the relevant courts in order to ensure the seamless establishment and operation of the competition in accordance with applicable laws.”
