Ruud Gullit does not expect a European Premier League to come. There has been a lot of speculation about this in the media in recent weeks, many top clubs would like it. But Gullit has his doubts.
A European Premier League guarantees more top matches, so that more money is automatically earned, but will it happen? “It depends on who decides it, the Americans are also going to get involved,” says Gullit at beIN Sports.
“I don’t think the Premier League can do without the big clubs. They need their own league, so I don’t know if it’s going to happen. I rather think it’s a threat to UEFA because the money is distributed differently. think the Champions League will stay that way. “
Gullit thinks FIFA would like to work with UEFA to organize such a competition. “They would like that, because every year they see how the Champions League is the most important tournament in the world. Hopefully there will be no war between the two parties.”
