It is no secret that the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, is one of the most prominent supporters of the establishment of a European “Super League”, and it seems that he is also taking steps on the subject. In Spain and Italy it was reported that Peres took off for Italy, where he met with Juventus chairman Andrea Aneili, who also serves as president of the European Club Association.
According to reports, the meeting between two of the most powerful people in world football today lasted about three hours, and it dealt mainly with the general policy of European football and the establishment of a European Super League, which will compete in the Champions League.
Just last month, the president of Real Madrid declared: “The model of football in Europe needs to be strengthened, and the impact of the Corona has proven it. Everyone is in favor of reforming the global competitive landscape. The schedule is very busy and has effects on players’ health. There are millions of fans in Europe, and they must not be turned away. “
In addition, Peres took the time to have a surprising meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo as well. After the two parted in jarring tones, Spanish journalist Edo Aguirre, who is very close to the Portuguese, said the two had a friendly conversation, and that their relationship is at its best since Ronaldo left Madrid in the summer of 2018.
“The presence of the president of Real Madrid at the Juventus facilities was the perfect backdrop for the relationship,” Marca wrote. “The relationship between the two is fluid, they have spoken several times in recent months, but Ronaldo feels identified with Real. Both sides have not found what they are looking for – winning the Champions League – but a sporting union is a utopia at this point. A dream. But who knows, sometimes dreams come true.” .
