In recent weeks, a recruitment race was held by the Super League, with the goal being to launch its tournaments in the 2025/2026 season at the latest, with some optimism to launch already next season.
One of the heads of the factory, the president of Barcelona Juan Laporte, sounds different these days.
Roma, Ajax and Marseille are only part of a list of teams that Laporta approached, with the aim of adding them to the Super League, and they answered in the negative to the offer.

Laforte treated this with disdain and said: "If the English teams don't join, it's not bad, they have their Super League, it's called the Premier League."
However, he sounds worried, because it is known that, with the exception of Real Madrid, the Spanish league also rejects the idea of the Super League: "The Super League can start already next year or in the 2025/2026 season, if it doesn't happen, we will have to think about everything again."
