ZURICH (Reuters) - The umbrella organisation representing Europe's domestic leagues is tired of breakaway threats, it said on Tuesday in response to a proposal to create a two-division world soccer league.

The Financial Times and New York Times have reported that discussions led by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez have taken place over the possibility of setting up the league featuring the world’s richest clubs split into two divisions.

"We are getting very tired of all the threats coming from a few rich clubs in football," said European Leagues chairman Lars-Christer Olsson in a statement which did not mention Real Madrid by name. Earlier this year, UEFA and the European Club Association put forward a plan to turn the Champions League into a semi-closed competition from 2024 onwards. It was eventually dropped amid strong opposition.

"The dream is alive, for clubs and players, girls and boys, that one day they may reach a professional level and they can even make it all the way to the top," he said.
