Liverpool said their involvement in the proposed breakaway league "has been discontinued".

"Liverpool football club can confirm that our involvement in proposed plans to form a European Super League has been discontinued. In recent days, the club has received representations from various key stakeholders, both internally and externally, and we would like to thank them for their valuable contributions."

"We can confirm that we have formally commenced procedures to withdraw from the group developing proposals for a European Super League (ESL)", said Tottenham.

Chelsea has also signalled their intent to do so by preparing documentation to withdraw, reported BBC Sport.
