Real had sought “substantial damages” from Uefa after European football’s governing body lost a court appeal over the Super League project in October 2025.
However, Uefa, European Football Clubs (EFC) and Real Madrid reported on Wednesday an “agreement of principles” had been reached “for the good of European club football”.
Twelve European clubs initially backed the breakaway competition in 2021, before support for the project collapsed.
It is not yet clear whether Real Madrid are still signed up to the European Super League project.
A joint statement by Uefa, EFC and Real Madrid read: “Following months of discussions conducted in the best interests of European football, Uefa, EFC, and Real Madrid announce that they have reached an agreement of principles for the wellbeing of European club football, respecting the principle of sporting merit with emphasis on long-term club sustainability and the enhancement of fan experience through the use of technology.
“This agreement of principles will also serve to resolve their legal disputes related to the European Super League, once such principles are executed and implemented.”
