Real Madrid is requesting that the Premier League’s top six clubs contribute to the costs associated with the failed European Super League (ESL) initiative. The club claims that the setup and organizational expenses for the project could total up to $90 million.

Despite the ESL’s collapse in April 2021, Real Madrid asserts that the six Premier League clubs—Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham—still owe their share of the venture’s costs.

The club’s demand highlights the financial implications of the ESL’s launch, which was abandoned shortly after its announcement. Real Madrid is seeking compensation for the expenses incurred during the project’s setup.
