A leaked document sent to Real Madrid last month appears to show that plans are still ongoing for a long-speculated European Super League featuring the continent's top football clubs.
An Oct. 22 email to Real Madrid from Madrid-based investment firm Key Capital Partners included a "binding term sheet" of 11 clubs and five "initial guests" to form a breakaway, private league, according to multiple news outlets which received the document among thousands of others from the "Football Leaks" whistleblower platform.
Reports of a potential new league for Europe's top clubs have persisted for years, most notably in 2016 when officials from English clubs met in London with American businessman Charlie Stillitano, the founder of the International Champions Cup summer tournament in the United States.
