There are reports UEFA will exclude Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona from the Champions League for two years, meanwhile those clubs are suing the other nine Super League rebels.
It was formally announced on Friday that UEFA had reached an agreement with nine of the 12 breakaway clubs – Arsenal, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Milan, Inter, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
They signed a ‘Club Commitment Declaration’ to steer clear of any future Super League tournament, in exchange having to pay €15m ‘to be used for the benefit of children, youth and grassroots football in local communities across Europe.’
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin also said that they will “deal with” the remaining clubs “subsequently.”
According to the latest reports from Partidazo de Cope in Spain, the UEFA Disciplinary Commission is leaning towards excluding Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona from their competitions for two years.
Meanwhile, the trio not only aim to fight UEFA over this ruling, but are also now ready to sue the other nine clubs for leaving the project.
The New York Times now reports that Juve, Real Madrid and Barca sent a letter on Thursday accusing the other clubs of committing a “material breach” of the founders’ agreement.
They now intend to seek reparations for “significant damages” caused by the change of heart.
