Real Madrid demand €80m from six English clubs over Super League
Madrid want City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham to share the launch costs of the Super League, despite pulling out of it in 2021.
Real Madrid are reportedly demanding around €80 million from six Premier League clubs to cover the costs of launching and promoting the Super League, even though those sides backed out of the project in 2021. According to RMC Sport, the bill is aimed at Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
So far, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have footed those costs. All the founding clubs signed a contract with European Super League Company, a holding company based in Spain, and that document will be key in deciding whether the English clubs must pay.
The project collapsed after nine of the twelve founding clubs withdrew, with Juventus following in 2023 and Barcelona in February 2026. Madrid were left alone with the idea, and now open an economic dispute with their former English partners.
