La Liga giants Real Madrid, Barcelona along with Athletic Bilbao and Segunda division side Real Oviedo opted out, saying the terms were too generous to CVC.
Their alternative proposal includes JPMorgan, Bank of America and HSBC jointly lending 2 billion euros in exchange for a fixed annual payment of 115 million euros for 25 years.
La Liga’s management hit out at the two giants and added that the CVC deal was not just about financing the league but also aimed at making it more competitive and improving its businesses.
La operación de CVC es una operación de inversión con un socio industrial, no de financiación,FP lo sabe (Abertis/CVC). Ahora FP se “acuerda” de los clubes de @LaLiga,(los de los partidos poco interesantes) y que ignoraba cuando preparaba la SUPERLIGA🤥🤥https://t.co/JSgoLQaplV

“The CVC deal is an operation of investment in an industrial partner, not a bank credit, and (Real Madrid president) Florentino Perez knows that,” La Liga president Javier Tebas wrote on social media.

On the eve of the new Spanish season, the value of La Liga’s deal with private equity firm CVC dropped from €2.7 billion to €2.1 billion after four clubs voted against and opted out.
La Liga president Javier Tebas had earlier already targetted Real Madrid and Barcelona, stating that they were more interested in the formation of the Super League.
“It’s clearly because they (Barcelona and Real Madrid) are in favour of a European Super League. They are not interested in a league that is powerful and strong.”
