LALIGA clubs are considering going on strike as pressure grows on the Spanish Government to block the European Super League, reports say.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is desperate to revive his hated project, which fell apart within days 18 months ago.
But La Liga clubs are determined to stop him as political parties become increasingly pulled into the debate.
Fourteen sides in the top flight are reportedly threatening to strike unless the Government rejects the Super League.
All 14 of the club presidents will meet Spain’s sports minister Miquel Iceta on Monday, where they are calling for reassurances.
They want to see an update to Spain’s general ‘Sports Law’ that would see an official rejection to the controversial idea.

It had appeared doomed in April 2021 when all of the English clubs pulled out within hours of one another an extraordinary fan backlash.
But Perez, Barca president Joan Laporta and Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli are all still trying to push the unpopular idea.
