Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali believes that none of the nine clubs that stepped away from the idea of a European Super League last year have any desire to pursue it.
Chelsea were one of the clubs, along with Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid to exit the plans to launch the ESL in March of 2021 less than 48 hours after the project was revealed.
The ESL plan was met with a hostile response from fans, football authorities, the wider football community and even governments when it was first revealed late on a Sunday night, the plan proposed being a closed European competition that would see the biggest clubs in the world in charge of their own media and commercial rights, which are currently within the remit of UEFA when it comes to the Champions League.
