Around sixty clubs are apparently ready to join the Super League project. Among these are the two giants of Spanish football: FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Super League project, which has generated significantly less excitement in recent months, is back in the spotlight. According to Mundo Deportivo, the organization behind this competition, led by Florentino Pérez, continues to work in the shadows. The last few weeks have been marked by an intensification of contacts with clubs in order to convince them to participate in this initiative, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona being the most prominent figures.
These discussions appear to have been very fruitful. The organizers of the Super League have initiated talks with more than a hundred European clubs which regularly participate in European competitions, around sixty of them having already expressed their desire to take part in this project.

This competition is beginning to take shape as consultations between organizers and interested clubs progress, responding to their requests. The Super League plans to establish a top division comprising 16 top clubs, featuring the best from Europe’s five major leagues (Spain, England, Italy, Germany and France) as well as other powerful clubs from countries such as Portugal and the Netherlands.
Additionally, there would be two other lower level groups consisting of 16 and 20 teams. Champions, who might not have been expected at this level, such as Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga last year, could also be included in the top division. This is still under study, as is the calendar.
