Los Blancos made it known via an official announcement on their website just a few hours ago, even going as far as branding such a move as impossible.
The statement read:
Real Madrid and La Liga body in a serious battle
Real Madrid have been at the forefront of what seems to be a battle with La Liga’s governing body over the last few months. It all began with the proposed formation of the Super League, which Los Blancos and other Spanish clubs including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were committed to.
The movement faced strong opposition from La Liga and UEFA. It was put on hold after a number of founding members from the continent pulled out. Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona, however, have maintained their interest in participating in the proposed break-away league.
More drama ensued when La Liga sealed a cash injection deal with CVC. The deal would provide La Liga with €2.1 billion, which would be shared among member clubs to tackle their financial challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Los Blancos and their Clasico rivals condemned the idea because it would grant CVC 10% of all rights and revenue from the league for the next 50 years.
Earlier this week, the league’s governing body announced it would go ahead with the deal that now involves 17 member clubs after Athletic Bilbao also pulled out. The three non-participants will have their revenue untouched while the teams who are part of the deal will sacrifice 10%.
Shortly after the announcement, rumors of Real Madrid making a switch to the Premier League emerged, with the club now having come out to deny the move.
