PEREZ DOES NOT GIVE UP: DEMANDED 80 MILLION EUROS FROM THE ENGLISH

Although exactly 5 years have passed since the Super League fiasco shaking European football to its foundations, waters do not settle on the Spanish giant Real Madrid front. Club president Florentino Perez does not seem to have accepted the collapse of this giant project started with the dream of gathering the biggest teams under a single roof. According to the news of The Athletic; the Spanish representative demands a massive amount of compensation from the 6 English clubs taking part in the founding stage but deciding to withdraw upon intense reactions. It was stated that the total price demanded from this group including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham is exactly 80 million euros. Real Madrid management believes the departure of the English giants caused not only a loss of prestige but also serious financial damages. President Florentino Perez argues that the massive expenses made for launching the tournament must be met jointly by the founding members. Claiming the signatures signed initially are binding, the Spanish club wants the English representatives abandoning the project to absolutely contribute to these costs. The football public talks about a brand new and extremely fierce legal battle starting between the clubs following such an astronomical demand. While it is not clear how the English clubs will react to this invoice amounting to 80 million euros, lawyers foresee the process could be carried to international courts. This crisis continues to arouse great curiosity among fans and managers. The Spanish giant gives signals of seeking rights through legal means until the end without stepping back. Club managers state mobilizing all available means if financial obligations are not fulfilled. This historical legal showdown will be followed by the entire football world.
