Official: European Super League suspended

The European Super League has been suspended, just 48 hours after announcing its creation, due to the withdrawal of six English clubs that had signed to join.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham withdrew from the group of 12 founding clubs of the Super League, which aimed to replace the Champions League as the main European club competition.

The intense pressure and criticism from club fans and from UEFA, FIFA and local leagues influenced their withdrawal.

The Super League has not been completely suspended, however, because in a letter published Tuesday after midnight, it is said it intends to move the plan forward after changing it.

“The European Super League is convinced that the status quo of European football needs to be changed. We are proposing a new European competition because the current system is not working,” the Super League letter reads.

“Despite the announcement of the departure of English clubs, which were forced to take such a decision due to pressure on them, we are convinced that our proposal is fully in line with European law and regulations, as confirmed today by a “court decision to protect the Super League from the actions of third parties”, it is further stated in the notification.

“Given the current circumstances, we will reconsider the most appropriate steps to change the project, always keeping in mind our intentions to provide fans with the best possible experience.”

After the departure of English clubs, only Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, ??Inter, Juventus and Milan remain part of the Super League.

Douglas Costa will complete the transfer to Gremio within 48 hours

Douglas Costa is expected to complete his move to Gremio within 48 hours, said the vice-president of the Brazilian club.

The 30-year-old joined Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus this October, but the Bavarians had informed the Serie A giants that they would not buy the player.

The Brazilian is now expected to return to his former club Gremio on a free transfer.

“Negotiations are underway. Juventus have officially authorized us to make a deal with the player,” Gremio vice-president Marcos Herrmann told Globo Esporte.

“We are waiting for the documentation, which should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, and there is enough time to register the player before the deadline. We are optimistic.”

Douglas Costa’s contract with Juventus expires in 2022, but the Bianconeri will end the deal with the Brazilian winger a year ago.
