The Champions League broadcast for free? Florentino Perezs big dream is not a reality for UEFA

A decision that could have shaken European football. According to the Voz Populi newspaper, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez hopes for a future where elite football is broadcast for free. And according to the Spanish media, negotiations “are on the verge of being finalized” with a Madrid president willing to suspend heavy legal action against UEFA regarding the Super League so that discussions can take place.

Real Madrid would like to establish a model where viewers do not incur any costs “thanks to integrated advertising funding.” This could threaten the business of Movistar, the main broadcaster of football in Spain. But according to RMC Sport information, this project is far from being implemented.

Not on the UEFA’s agenda

According to several sources from RMC Sport, this project is not on the agenda of UEFA, which has recently sold TV rights for billions of euros through its agency UC3.

These contracts signed in several European countries in recent weeks are for a fairly long duration, such as in France with Canal+. This idea of free broadcasting largely echoes the concept that was proposed by representatives of the Super League.
