Chelsea unlikely to join the new Super League – co-owner
Behdad Eghbali, a co-owner of Chelsea, has made it seem doubtful that they will play in the new Super League.

Less than 48 hours after the initiative was announced, Chelsea joined the list of teams who pulled out of the plans to establish the ESL in March 2021, along with Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid.

In an interview with football.london on Wednesday, Chelsea co-owner and co-founder of Clearlake Capital Eghbali said: "I think the sport needs more premium high-quality matches and material, but it doesn't have to be a Super League.

“Todd [Boehly] went there on an All-Star Game, the baseball talent competition or draft generates £200million to £300million of revenue on a Monday or Tuesday each year, none of that exists in the EPL. Could there be an EPL versus Serie A game? Could you see pre-season matches producing more premium content on the pitch? You could.

“But structurally, given how botched that episode was does anybody have any appetite for something like that? A couple of teams in Spain do and they are vocal about it, but everyone else doesn’t want to go there anymore.”

For the moment, the new Super League is being driven by Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus.
