Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini supports Super League breakaway

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini admits he supports the Super League breakaway.

Chiellini also wants to see Serie A reduced.

“I've been talking to the President for a few years now about this," Chiellini told DAZN Italia.

“The future of football is increasingly towards a European approach compared to national leagues. A player at Juve's level wants to play those games, with all due respect. Athletes of our level, but also perhaps the fans, want to see more of these European level fixtures.

“We have reached the point of no return. Institutions, clubs and players must meet to reform the calendar and create new competitions to relaunch this sport, which remains the most beautiful in the world, but can also be improved.

“In the USA, who are masters of this sort of thing, they created Super Leagues in every sport."
