The Premier League is considering introducing ‘All-Star’ matches against teams made up of the best players from La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga.
One of the drivers of the All-Star idea is new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who recently suggested a North-South All-Star game featuring players from the Premier League.
The Premier League is looking for new ways to keep growing audiences and increase overseas TV rights.
“At the end of the day, I hope the Premier League learns a little bit from American sports,” Boehly said, adding that more money should be made, as it does with the MLB All-Star this year, receiving $200 million from monday and tuesday.
But Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expressed his concern when asked about Boehly’s proposal.
“When he finds a date for it, he can call me. In American sports, these players have four months off. I’m not sure people want to see this: Man United players, Liverpool players, Manchester City players, Everton players all together,” the German declared.
