The development was confirmed via the official X handle of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
he stated:
OFFICIAL: Real Madrid confirm agreement with UEFA as it’s OVER for the Super League. “UEFA, the European Football Clubs (EFC), and Real Madrid C. F. reach an agreement for the good of European club football. After months of discussions held in the interest of European football, UEFA, the European Football Clubs (EFC), and Real Madrid C. F. announce that they have reached an agreement in principle for the good of European club football, respecting the principle of sporting merit and emphasizing the long-term sustainability of clubs and the improvement of the fan experience through the use of technology. This agreement in principle will also serve to resolve their legal disputes related to the European Super League, once a final agreement is implemented.“

UEFA, the EFC and Real Madrid confirmed the agreement would resolve all Super League-related legal disputes once fully implemented.
