GENEVA (AP) — European clubs are set for fresh talks with UEFA that should block a breakaway Super League until at least 2024.
Two weeks after UEFA and the European Club Association agreed on Champions League entry slots and prize money models through 2021, both sides said on Tuesday that negotiations for the next three-year cycle will start within months.
"This is a kind of guarantee that the clubs stay united under the umbrella of UEFA," Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the ECA and Bayern Munich chairman at a news conference.
Rummenigge spoke after two days of closed-door meetings that revealed disunity and unhappiness among clubs from lower-ranked national leagues which will be squeezed by the Champions League deal agreed last month.
