Florentino Perez speaks out AGAIN, insisting no club can leave the European Super League as Real Madrid president claims JP Morgan has NOT pulled £3.5bn backing and warns of clubs going BANKRUPT by 2024 without solution

Florentino Perez has spoken yet again on the European Super League and insists no founding member can pull out despite several withdrawals this week.

Real Madrid chief Perez, who is also the president of the Super League, has given three interviews since the controversial breakaway competition was launched last weekend by 12 clubs and has maintained his commitment to it ever since.

The Premier League 'Big Six' - namely Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham - were the first to pull out of the competition 48 hours after its official founding, but Perez stated earlier this week all 12 clubs signed a 'legally binding contract'.
