Premier League clubs meet to discuss new European league which could be approved by UEFA as soon as September
UEFA are open to a new Champions League format in a new shake-up
It would be the closest step to a European Super League yet if it happens
New format could be in place ready for 2018-19 season after the World Cup
Both Manchester clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all met last month
Relevant Sports, which runs International Champions Cup, also involved
European football faces its greatest shake-up in nearly a quarter of a century under proposals being discussed by Premier League and foreign clubs.
UEFA are open to a new Champions League format that could be approved by September and put in place for the 2018-19 season. One possibility is a new knockout phase followed by a 16-team group stage split into two divisions of eight, playing 14 games home and away.
It is designed to eliminate the weaker teams early on and guarantee the strongest groups for what would represent the closest step yet to a European Super League, and the most radical change since the Champions League replaced the knockout format of the European Cup 24 years ago.
