The DFL, which runs the top two divisions of the Football League system -- known as the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 -- said in a statement that such a competition would have"unacceptable consequences" for national leagues around Europe.

UEFA has said discussions are at a preliminary stage and has not given any further details. But according to reports of a meeting held between UEFA and representatives of the European Leagues last week, the governing body has already put a proposal on the table which would involve drastic changes. The top tier — the equivalent of the Champions League — would include 32 teams, the top 24 of whome would keep their places for the next season, ending the tradition that qualifying for European competition is achieved via national leagues."The presently discussed concept... would have unacceptable consequences for the national leagues in Europe and should therefore not be implemented in this form," said the DFL's chief executive Christian Seifert.

The DFL called on UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin to"moderate further proceedings in a foresightful manner".
