Having been kicked into touch back in 2021, proposals for a revamped European Super League competition have been presented.
A22, the company engaged to facilitate the creation of the ESL, has been on the charm offensive over the past six months following the appointment of CEO Bernd Reichart, getting feedback 'from over 50 clubs' as part of their plans to bring about the project in a more palatable way than the one that was presented in April 2021.
The original ESL plan had 12 clubs signed up initially, including Liverpool, with Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona all part of the line up. The plans were met with an angry reaction from fans, leagues, governing bodies and other stakeholders and one by one the numbers of the dozen clubs committed dwindled until just three remained; Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
