The Super League project remains "very much alive" and could be in place by 2025, according to CEO Bernd Reichart.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, who were among the 12 founding clubs, have not withdrawn from the project.

"It's very much alive. There are some who want to declare that it is dead, but if they say it a lot, there is much to suspect," Reichart told Cadena Ser.. "There are clubs in Europe that surely share the vision of Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona, and now they have the opportunity to share what they think.

"There is a broad consensus that football needs reform. Football cannot continue as it is designed now."

With the Super League facing legal hurdles, Reichart does not anticipate the breakaway competition from starting before the 2024-25 campaign.

"Until there is certainty from the European Court, it's unreasonable to think that it could be played before the 2024-25 campaign," Reichart said. "It's a long journey, but we have the humility to do it step by step without pause."
