La Liga is set to mimic the model of the Premier League...

The LFP (Spanish Football League) will today announce the decision to separate the Primera teams from the Segunda in La Liga, which will create a league model similar to England's Premier League.As reported by AS, the league separation is the first step to creating a 'Superliga', that is to say a Primera Division that is independent from the rest of Spain's leagues. Meetings have been taking place between 11 Primera Division clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Atletico, Valencia, Athletic, Villarreal, Racing, Getafe, Sporting and Deportivo) over the past two weeks to debate the idea and a resolution seems to have been reached.The television rights to matches are the main tenant of the agreement. If La Liga adopts a Premier League structure, the new league authority will decide the schedule of matches and would create its own calendar. Further, the elite clubs would create a revenue-sharing model for television rights that would depend on three elements: a fixed amount, an additional amount based on ticket sales, and more revenue based on the club's finish for the season.Become a fan of Goal.com International on Facebook!
