Sevilla gets G-14 invite

Spanish side Sevilla have been invited to join the G-14 group of clubs. The organisation will also contact Roma from Serie A in Italy, Monaco from the French Ligue 1 and Werder Bremen from the German Bundesliga. The G-14 had previously revealed that English Premier League outfit Chelsea would be invited to join the expanded grouping of elite European clubs.

Invitations will be sent out to around 50 clubs spread across 23 countries later this week, including the 18 current members of the G-14.

"The new organisation will have the same concept as the previous body - to protect the rights of its member clubs," said G-14 communications manager Derek McGlynn.

"The invitations will be sent out this week and the plan is to have a meeting with everyone towards the end of this year, probably in November."
