"Teams ready to join the Super League right now are Inter Milan, Napoli, Roma, Milan, Marseille, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, Anderlecht, Club Brugge and every team in La Liga except Atletico," Joan Laporta has told RAC1.
The Barca president contradicts the official statements made by most La Liga clubs here. They've recently made it clear they are strongly against the Super League – except for Barcelona, Real Madrid and maybe Athletic Club. But maybe he and Florentino Perez know something we don't.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are said to be confident in launching the European Super League in the coming seasons following a beneficial European Court ruling. Although the two clubs are the only founders of the project, there is reportedly some positive contact with many other European teams who would be willing to be part of it.
The Super League will be aiming to replace the UEFA competitions, including the Champions League, and provide the participating clubs with a much higher income than the one they get by featuring in the existing European tournaments.
