A decision that could have disrupted European football. According to Voz Populi, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez hopes for a future with elite football being broadcast for free. According to the Spanish media, negotiations “are on the verge of being finalized” with a Madrid president willing to withdraw his heavy complaint against UEFA regarding the Super League so that discussions can take place.
Real Madrid would like to establish a model in which viewers do not incur any costs “thanks to integrated advertising funding.” This could threaten the business of Movistar, the main broadcaster of football in Spain. But according to RMC Sport information, this project is far from becoming a reality.
Not on the UEFA agenda
According to several sources from RMC Sport, this project is not currently on the UEFA’s agenda, which has recently sold TV rights for several billion euros through its agency UC3.
These contracts, concluded in several European countries in recent weeks, are signed for a fairly long period, as seen in France with Canal+. This idea of free broadcasting largely echoes the concept proposed by the Super League representatives.
