What's interesting is PSG and Bayern did not sign on to this, and if this was firmed up you have to believe they would. So maybe Agnelli et al are trying to bluff their way through this and it will collapse, I certainly hope so.

With regards to PSG, it may have to do with this:

Their concerns can be political and financial. P.S.G.’s president, Nasser al-Khelaifi, sits on the UEFA board, for example, and also heads beIN Media Group, the Qatar-based television network that has paid millions of dollars for the broadcast rights to games in the Champions League and various domestic competitions.

I'm not sure what Bayern and Dortmund's rationale; maybe ColoradoTree's reason.
