Bernd Reichart has detailed the huge sums of money on offer to clubs who sign up for a revamped European Super League.

The chief executive of management company A22, who are leading the ESL plans, has also confirmed that discussions have taken place with clubs in Scotland.

Celtic and Rangers earnt a sum of around £30million for playing in the Champions League last term, but Reichart now claims that his new 60-80 team multi-league format would offer even more financial gain.

"Now we have a lot of domestic kings in less relevant leagues," he told the Daily Mail. "You are the kings of your domestic territory but unable to compete with the league next door for the European crowns.

"For those clubs who are locked in a domestic league with limited potential, and where UEFA is not really a truly open and sustainable second frontier for their ambition, we want to be able to provide more significant earnings on the back of a higher amount of guaranteed matches.

"We want a more predictable, sustainable path within Europe. Even though promotion and relegation should always comply with the sporting merit principle."

The original Super League was heavily criticised as it proposed that 15 clubs would be permanent members of a 20-team competition, with no threat of failing to qualify for those permanent members.

A22 is now proposing an open, 60 to 80-team multi-divisional format, guaranteeing competing teams at least 14 European matches per season.

Reichart did not confirm whether Celtic or Rangers were among those clubs due to confidentiality agreements, but believes “big clubs in small leagues” like them would benefit from the A22 project.

He continued: “Analysing the situation of the Scottish top clubs, the situation they’re in is quite comparable to other European leagues where domestic revenues are not sufficient to grant competitiveness on the bigger European stage, although they have every condition to be one of the big European clubs – football tradition, modern stadia, passionate fan base, historic track record and trophies.

“What can change for big clubs in small leagues was one of the essential assessments we did over the course of the last six months.

"I think that football deserves a more open dialogue and I can assure you that I have spoken to a lot of people who want to know what we are up to.

"They want to learn about the court case, they want to know how our plans are evolving, but ask me not to let anybody know because they don’t want calls from UEFA."
