Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says the 12 clubs that agreed to join the European Super League cannot leave, because they’ve all signed binding contracts.

It comes after nine clubs pulled out of the controversial plan last week following intense backlash…leaving only Real, Barcelona and Juventus in the competition.

Perez, however, insists the contractual obligations mean the Super League is still on, although there will likely be some changes.
