Aleksander Ceferin has said that clubs are free to enter into a breakaway competition but should they do so they will not be able to take part in UEFA competitions.
The UEFA president, speaking at the Financial Times' Business of Football Summit, addressed the remaining agitators for a breakaway European Super League; Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona, three clubs who have been pursuing legal action against European football's governing body ever since the initial project imploded back in April last year.
Liverpool were among the 12 clubs to try and launch a breakaway ESL competition last year, a plot that crashed and burned just 48 hours from its launch following a fierce backlash from fans.
