A decision that could have shaken European football. According to Voz Populi, Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, envisions a future where elite football is broadcast for free. And according to the Spanish media, negotiations “are on the verge of completion” 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 see a model in which viewers do not incur any costs “thanks to integrated advertising financing.” This could threaten the business of Movistar, the main broadcaster of football in Spain. But according to RMC Sport’s information, this project is far from being implemented.
Not on UEFA’s agenda
According to several sources from RMC Sport, this project is not currently on 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 quite a long period, as in France with Canal+. This idea of free broadcasting largely echoes the idea proposed by representatives of the Super League.
