The Dutch Eredivisie and the Belgian Jupiler Pro League are in talks to merge their leagues to create a new 18 team league, according to a report by the German magazine kicker.
The consulting company Deloitte has calculated that a so-called BeNe League could generate in the region of €400 million a year in television revenue. In comparison, both the Dutch and Belgium top leagues earn about €80 million a season in television revenue at the moment.
A merger would create the sixth-largest league by television revenue
The European football governing body has not yet been presented with plans for a potential merger and will not comment at the time.
