The officials behind the breakaway competition are planning to come up with a new proposal.
Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali believes the excitement around the European Super League is only limited to “vocal” Spanish clubs.
An attempt to launch the breakaway competition collapsed last year, with nine of the 12 founding clubs withdrawing amid huge backlash from football fans.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus have remained committed to the project, exploring ways to revive it in the near future.
Widespread reports in Spanish and English media have claimed the Super League hierarchy is working on a new format for the competition.
However, Eghbali, who is a part of the Boehly-led consortium that purchased Chelsea earlier this year, predicts the proposal will face a cold reaction from most clubs.
“I think the sport needs more premium high-quality matches and content,” Eghbali said on Wednesday. “But it doesn’t have to be a Super League,” Eghbali said at an event in New York on Wednesday.
“Todd went there on an All-Star Game. The baseball talent competition or draft generates £200million to £300million of revenue on a Monday or Tuesday each year. None of that exists in the English Premier League.
“Could there be a Premier League versus Serie A game? Could you see pre-season matches producing more premium content on the pitch? You could.
“But structurally, given how botched that episode was, does anybody have any appetite for something like that? A couple of teams in Spain do and they are vocal about it, but everyone else doesn’t want to go there anymore.”
