Borussia Dortmund, Bayern and Leipzig all confirmed that they don't want to participate
The topic of the European Super League is once again current. The new executive director of the fledgling competition Bernd Reichart started a series of discussions, as in an interview given to SER, he talked about how UEFA's views have come closer to modern trends in the last 12 hours than in the previous 18 months. The German also said that the system will not be completely closed, that is, that his holy result will retain its unchanged status. In translation, the little ones will be able to dream about the Super League.

3 key points...⤵️
1) European football is losing its undisputed leadership position
2) The current financial model is broken
3) Clubs should be sovereign & master of their own destiny pic.twitter.com/YTWwVZquZ3
He could not confirm whether the founders and richest clubs will have a guaranteed place in the competition, as the details have yet to be discussed. Regardless of the fact that the Super League founders relaxed the rules a bit (at first, the idea was that there would be no relegation from the new League) - the German clubs did not change their attitude. Bayern, Dortmund and RB Leipzig, who received an invitation to participate in 2021 and turned it down, claim that there is no question of any consideration of entering the project, which is currently only officially supported by Real, Barcelona and Juventus.
Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn says that as far as his club is concerned, there is not the slightest dilemma:
"That attempt to form the Super League failed a year and a half ago. Since then, we have repeated again and again that we are against it".

Borussia Dortmund is not interested in the Superliga either...
"The Champions League has an exceptional format. It will be especially interesting from 2024. Also, we feel that UEFA is in good hands, they take care of smaller clubs, that is very important," said Hans-Joachim Watzke.
If anyone could be expected to be interested in the Super League project, it is the Red Bull club Leipzig, which has little contact with the German way of doing business and functioning. However...
"We said what we had in April 2021. We don't want the Super League, our opinion remains unchanged," said their executive director Oliver Mintzlaff. Let us remind you that English clubs are also fundamentally against leaving the Champions League. They joined the Superliga in 2021, and then, after pressure from the political elite, withdrew.
