One of the authors of the Super League idea, Andrea Agnelli, openly talked to the newspaper "De Telegraaf" about the current European club system from his perspective.
"Juventus" club's former player claims that the "Premier League" is the current Super League.
"At the moment, only the "Premier League" continues to grow and is practically like the Super League. They earn 4 billion euros per year, Spain earns about half of that, Germany 1.5 million, and the Netherlands barely 100 million euros.
England's domination harms European football," said A. Agnelli.
During the interview, A. Agnelli also talked about Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who did not want to join the Super League project with PSG, about Infantino and Ceferin, about the UEFA system.
About N. Al-Khelaifi, the Italian said: "Great guy. He did not want to get involved in the Super League project. He supported UEFA because another league did not interest the owners of PSG from Qatar. Changes should not be expected from him. However, it is said that many clubs want a new league.
About UEFA and FIFA systems: "Isn't it strange that there is barely one candidate for UEFA or FIFA presidency posts? What is even stranger is that the candidate is the current president. Is that healthy? Can we expect changes from these people? Ceferin and Infantino will do everything to remain in the spotlight.
About the war with UEFA: "It was a war that I could not win. I know that the current system does not promise anything good in the future for clubs like "Ajax", "Anderlecht", "Celtic", "Benfica", "Panathinaikos", "Crvena Zvezda". Therefore, decisions are made not to stay in the same place, but to choose a different path.
"The UEFA monopoly must be broken so that clubs have a more stable financial future. A future where not qualifying for European tournaments once does not ruin them," sternly said the 47-year-old Italian.
