Talks over ‘Atlantic league’ confirmed by FC Copenhagen director Read moreAt the forefront of these negotiations are Danish club FC Copenhagen. Club director Anders Horsholt has revealed discussions have been held over a potential European league involving teams from Scotland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Sweden. Stale Solbakken’s side have made a great start to this season’s Champions League and are worried that they and other medium-sized European clubs will be squeezed out by bigger clubs in future Champions League campaigns. Norwegian champions Rosenborg are also apparently keen on the idea, having totally dominated their domestic league this season but failed to advance through the Champions League qualifying rounds. Have the Uefa proposals left clubs with little option or is there a better alternative than a breakaway league?
