According to a German publication, the sanctions to every club that drops out of the European Super League have been revealed.
Dropping out of the European Super League might not be as easy as previously thought, each club will get a hefty sanction for it. After Monday’s chaos with every English club, three more squads announced they wouldn’t continue on their quest to create this new tournament. But making the announcement and actually getting out of the deal are two entirely different things.
All of these clubs were just fronting in order to appeal to their fan bases, but the reality is very different. From the moment Florentino Perez stated that getting out would be impossible, it appears he wasn’t bluffing on that. Every single club will have to pay a hefty sanction because they all signed legal documents that are nearly impossible to drop. The Real Madrid president doesn’t leave anything to chance, he plans two and even three steps ahead of everybody else.
How big are the sanctions?
According to Der Spiegel from Germany, a leaked document of the sanctions was revealed to the public. In the rules of the European Super League, it clearly stated that any club willing to leave the deal will have to pay €150 million to the league’s creators. If our math is correct, that means the three remaining clubs will get €1,35 billion for their troubles. This money should be more than enough to either keep the Super League’s concept alive or to split between the three clubs that remain in this association.
Legal procedures to drop out of the deal are ongoing for each club that made the announcement. But if this is true, none of them will be happy to know they will have to pay a lot of money to get out. Just yesterday, Florentino Perez still seemed confident that no club was going to leave this initiative. Perhaps they are only stalling while UEFA gets around to the negotiating table.
