Despite the widespread dissent and boycott from multiple European clubs, The Super League shows an unwavering persistence in its activities. Furthermore, substantial progress has been reported recently as its Chief, Anas Laghrari, has announced that a preliminary agreement with 20 teams to participate in the league has been reached. This raises the question of which teams comprise this Group of 20.

Who could be the 20? La Liga clubs? EPL clubs had rejected the notion, hadn’t they? What about an outlier like Inter Miami for the European Super League?
The Spanish powerhouses, Real Madrid and Barcelona, who were integral proponents of the European Super League project, are indisputably among the 20 teams. Napoli is another club that has publicly endorsed Florentino Perez’s vision. To date, no other official confirmations have been forthcoming from any other clubs regarding their intentions for engagement with the Super League.

However, discussion surrounding potential interest emanates beyond Europe’s Top 5 leagues. Clubs situated within Turkey, Belgium, and Portugal are reportedly considering aligning with this novel league structure. Furthermore, there are teams like Inter Milan and Juventus who initially declined to participate in the league.
However, given their current financial struggles, there is a significant possibility for them to reconsider their decision and make a U-turn. Moreover, despite participation refusals from the English Premier League’s Big Six, there could be intriguing shifts on that front.

Barcelona’s President Joan Laporta earlier divulged ongoing dialogues with clubs namely Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham. He further shared, “All these clubs, most of which are for sale and some have already been sold, are interested.” Taking this into consideration, it is not entirely possible to completely dismiss the potential involvement of these teams in the Super League.
