Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have become the latest clubs to release statements following Thursday's developments in relation to the European Super League.

A22 Sports, who were behind the original plans for the breakaway competition in April 2021, have placed a new proposal on the table after being given the green light by the European Court of Justice.

On Thursday, it was ruled that banning clubs from joining a breakaway league was "unlawful", with FIFA and UEFA therefore unable to sanction clubs interested in taking part in a new competition.

Of the 12 clubs - Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona - that were a part of the initial plans, only Real Madrid and Barcelona remain involved.

Man United released a statement on Thursday confirming that they were committed to UEFA competitions, and now both Man City and Tottenham have posted updates on their official websites.

"Manchester City Football Club confirmed in 2021 that it had formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League," read a statement from Man City.

"Our position has not changed. We remain committed to the values of European football, and we will continue to work with fellow clubs through the ECA and participate in UEFA competitions."

Meanwhile, Tottenham said: "Following today's (Thursday, 21 December) ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding the European Super League (ESL), we should like to confirm that our position has not changed.

"We remain committed to the values of European football, and we will continue to work with fellow clubs through the ECA and participate in UEFA competitions."

La Liga president Javier Tebas has insisted that there is "zero" chance of establishing a new European Super League.

Meanwhile, the plans have also been laughed off by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who has said that only two clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, would play in the competition.

Ceferin also insisted that "football is not for sale", while the Premier League have released their own statement reacting to the huge developments on Thursday.

The latest proposal from A22 Sports would see 64 men's clubs compete across three leagues, while the women's competition would see 32 clubs operate across two divisions.

However, there have not been any announcements regarding potential clubs or prize money. body check tags ::
