A new projected £12.7bn marketing deal for Europe’s top clubs has been hailed as a “new dawn” following the collapse of plans for a European Super League. European Clubs’ Association chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi has written to clubs about the new deal for Uefa’s major club competitions. Proposals for the European Super Leaguecollapsed last year . In the aftermath of the failed Super League project, Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris St-Germain, replaced Andrea Agnelli as head of the ECA. “It represents a tectonic shift in the role that clubs now play – thanks to ECA and in partnership with Uefa – in the decisions that shape European football,” Al-Khelaifi said in a letter seen by BBC Sport.
