The prospect of elite European clubs spliting from their respective divisions to form a “Super League” has been raised for several years.
And in October, SunSport that the Premier League Big Boys, Manchester United and Liverpool, were in favour of ESL, which would well update the Champions League.
While a league made up of the most productive in Europe has been well received by many interested in seeing the powers confront others regularly, the monetary ramifications of such a festival have raised serious concerns.
Although the departures of the big groups of the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga open the door to new champions, their outings can lead to a significant reduction in the number of other people watching the leagues.
This, in turn, would have a domino effect on the groups left behind, which would likely reduce sponsorship and television deals.
Clubs around the world have already suffered massive monetary losses this year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
And Perez thinks it’s the right time to lay the foundations for the long-proposed separatist league.
He said: “Things will never be the same again. Coronavirus is a pandemic of everything. “
“It has made us all more vulnerable and that includes world football. Football wants formulas to make it more competitive and exciting. “
“This club has been part of each and every innovation and has those inventions in our sport. It was the only club to be a founding member of FIFA in 1904, with seven national federations. “
“In 1955, L’Equipe and Real Madrid were the engine of the creation of the European Cup, a revolutionary moment that replaced the history of football. “
“Without all those changes, football wouldn’t have what it is today, and we want a new change. Football will have to face this new period. “
“Game reform awaits; we have to deal with that. We have a duty to fight for this change. “
One guy who disagrees with Perez’s position in the ESL is former Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger, who believes he would have a catastrophic situation in the Premier League.
The Frenchman recently said: “The Premier League has superiority, the other leagues are to destroy the merit of the Premier League. “
“For them, what needs to be done is to create a European League, which would fundamentally destroy the Premier League.
“Then, if you get the approval of the English clubs, it will happen. “
