Premier League clubs could be frozen out of a new European Super League (ESL) if the tournament is created.
Currently, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are all locked into a court case which is expected to conclude in December over UEFA's monopoly on European football after the governing body blocked the ESL's creation in 2021.
Each of the three clubs are determined to wrestle for more control of commercial and footballing power in the European game. The belief being that multi-billion pound TV and marketing deals in the Premier League makes it hard to compete with.
