Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are mentioned by insiders in talks for a 'European Premier League'.
It is not thought that any of the English clubs has yet signed legally binding terms to join, and it was unclear which member of the so-called "Big Six" would miss out if only five are ultimately involved.
Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga clubs are also involved in the proposed 18-team competition that could start in 2022.
