Representatives from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United reportedly met up with American billionaire Stephen Ross at the Dorchester hotel in London on Tuesday, according to The Sun.
The European Super League, as it is being called, would see England's elite joined by other top clubs in a competition that will cut out the risks of them missing out on Champions League millions every season if they fail to qualify.
Ross, owner of Miami Dolphins, was also the brains behind the International Champions Cup which was a huge success. TV audiences were big worldwide and crowd in America reached a record level. This breakaway from the Champions League will be the biggest since the Premier League breakaway in 1992.
United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, City’s chief executive Ferran Soriano and Liverpool’s Ian Ayre were pictured exiting the hotel, smiling and shaking hands.
This will mainly benefit the likes of United, Liverpool and Chelsea who look to miss out on qualification for next season's Champions league.
Liverpool have just qualified once since 2010 and United might face a massive loss in revenue should they fail to qualify for the second time in three seasons. Will this be the end of Europe's most loved competition?
