European Premier League: FIFA president Gianni Infantino distances himself from

"As FIFA president, I'm interested in the Club World Cup, not the Super League," said Infantino. "For me, it's not about Bayern Munich against Liverpool, but Bayern against Boca Juniors"

Sky News has learned Liverpool and Manchester United have held discussions about a bombshell plot involving Europe's biggest football clubs to join a new FIFA-backed tournament that would reshape the sport's global landscape.

More than a dozen teams from England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are in negotiations about becoming founder members of the competition - with Spurs, part of the Premier League's 'big six' clubs, included in those conversations.

However, Infantino told Swiss media outlets that the revamped Club World Cup was his focus.
