Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge would DECLINE club's invitation to join European Super League as he believes the controversial concept would 'cause serious damage' to domestic football

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has admitted that he has serious reservations about the project of creating a European Super League and would 'decline' the club's invitation to join one.

The idea of an members-only Super League has been widely condemned since it was introduced in the last year, which would see more than a dozen teams across England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain become founding members of the new £4.6bn-backed tournament.

Bayern would be one of the clubs at the front of the queue to join the competition, given they are one of the most successful clubs in history and are also the reigning champions of Europe.
