The European Club Association, a body that represents the interests of more than 200 leading teams, will gather to discuss proposed reforms to the continent\u2019s club tournaments, such as the Champions League and the lesser Europa League. Uefa, European football\u2019s governing body, distributes about \u20ac3.25bn in prize money and television broadcasting deals to clubs participating in these competitions each year. It is pressing the ECA to approve plans for a dramatic revamp of the format of the Champions League from 2024, changes that would represent the biggest transformation of the European game in decades.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/49aef25a-a133-4fea-b9db-2f1851273bca\">Financial Times<\/a><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">European Super League clubs promised \u20ac200m-\u20ac300m \u2018welcome bonus\u2019<\/h1><p>TheGuardian &#8211; JP Morgan commits \u20ac3.25bn to getting breakaway competition off the ground<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/5dea6eb5f9893a50f89c32f1c7b0f154397bb3a1\/31_276_3730_2239\/master\/3730.jpg?width=605&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=c1b4276d4436274a556e10b2ce3a516a\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><p>The 12 football clubs that have signed up to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thesuperleague.com\/press.html\">European Super League breakaway competition<\/a>&nbsp;have each been promised a \u20ac200m-\u20ac300m \u201cwelcome bonus\u201d by JP Morgan Chase, the US investment bank financing the controversial project.<\/p><p>The Wall Street giant said on Monday it has committed \u20ac3.25bn to getting the new league off the ground and that it would be shared between the clubs when the new competition begins.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2021\/apr\/19\/jp-morgan-european-super-league\">The Guardian<\/a><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Superlega, furia Ceferin: \u201cSospenderemo tutti.
