Real Madrid have furiously denied reports that Florentino Perez is studying the possibility of the club joining the Premier League after LaLiga agreed a £2.7billion deal with US private equity firm CVC.
Perez is currently at the centre of a heated row with LaLiga bosses over the proposed deal, which would see them hand 10 per cent of television revenue over the next 50 years to CVC – providing an instant cash injection for all 42 Primera and Segunda Division clubs a lifeline after being hit hard by the pandemic.
However, Real Madrid and Barcelona have vehemently opposed the idea which has led to Los Blancos to threaten with legal action.
