According to Football Leaks, 16 European top clubs including Bayern plan to sign a letter of intent later this month to start plans of establishing a new Super League. Bayern have even made a check of int'l law in 2016 on how to leave the Bundesliga & UCL.
The new Super League, starting from 2021, would put an end to the current format of the Champions League.
Bayern, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, Manchester City, Liverpool FC are amongst the clubs mentioned. [Football Leaks]
The first move started in 2016 by Michael Gerlinger, head of the legal department at FC Bayern and is more or less the team's behind-the-scenes brain. He rarely appears in public, but Rummenigge hasn't made an important decision without him in over a decade. [Football Leaks]
Rummenigge was instrumental in the preparation of a revolution against UEFA by the largest European clubs. And he did so while keeping it secret from the European Club Association (ECA), which represents the interests of more than 200 European clubs, despite being its chairman.
