UEFA are reportedly assessing the suitability of New York as a host for the 2024 Champions League final.
The showpiece finale for the tournament has never been held outside of Europe but the Morning Consult report that talks are ongoing between UEFA and commercial partners about holding it in the United States in four seasons time.
Liverpool are the reigning champions after they lifted the famous trophy inside Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium back in June.
Negotiations are said to be at an early stage but that both commercial partners and those familiar with the talks have not been shy in revealing their lofty ambitions.
It has already been revealed that Munich is the host city for the 2022 final while London will be the venue for the 2023 final.
Previous attempts to hold competitive matches across the Atlantic have been met with criticism and resistance but this would represent a major landmark if it was successful.
A person familiar with the negotiations says Champions League broadcasts in the US will move from Turner to CBS beginning with the 2021-22 season.
Well in a fans thinking, It's a European competition??? And you intend on holding it in America? Where football is not considered a superior sport.
