It was stated that in the contract of the 12 founding clubs, it was planned to distribute 3.5 billion euros among Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico de Madrid, Inter Milan and Milan. and Juventus. 32.5% of the revenue will be shared, with the other 32.5% distributed among the twenty participating teams (including five guests each season). Thus, the founders will receive 350 million euros for participation in the first project, and 233 million euros from those who participate in the competition. 20 percent of the revenue will be allocated based on sporting performance in the competition. And finally, the remaining 15% would be distributed according to the size of the television audience. This distribution almost doubles the 1 billion 950 million euros that UEFA currently distributes among clubs participating in the Champions League.

Who pays for the party?

Behind the Surperliga is the American financial institution JP Morgan, with whom Florentino Pérez has worked many times in his career both at Real Madrid and as president of the construction company ACS. The Super League signed an agreement with JP Morgan under which the Americans will receive an initial injection of 3 billion 525 million euros to launch the competition and line the pockets of the constituent clubs and participants.

It will bring back 6.1 billion in 23 years

The 12 founders promised in the framework agreement to return 6.1 billion euros to JP Morgan for the initial loan, which must be repaid within a maximum of 23 years. Achieving joint returns of 264 million euros plus interest for each of 23 years.

‘Fair play’ in the Super League

The Super League is committed to tight spending controls, emulating UEFA’s Financial Fair Play, but with a commitment that teams do not fall into the red at the end of the season. There is therefore a commitment that no more than 55% of the revenue will be used in what is called “sports expenditure”, where player wages, transfers and agent fees will also be included. Today there are many clubs that increase this expense to 70 to 80 percent of their income.

Uniform taxation of 45%

The framework agreement also states the creation of an article that would equalize tax payments and ensure “the standardization of income tax applied to salaries at 45%”, thus preventing clubs in Spain from being at a competitive disadvantage compared to other clubs. other countries.

Solidarity fund quadruples

It is also stated that the Super League will create a fund for aid and solidarity worth 400 million, which will come from 8 percent of the television revenues of the competition. This is a figure that quadruples the amount UEFA currently devotes to its so-called solidarity fund and modest football aid.
