Currently, the Super Cup is played at the start of each domestic European season and sees the Champions League winners take on the Europa League winners of the previous year, but discussions are apparently ongoing to make the competition a four-team event.

Premier League clubs could be facing off against MLS teams within the next few seasons, with reports suggesting UEFA are considering revamping the Super Cup format.

According to PA Media, conversations are taking place over the new version being held in the US, with the Champions League winners, the Europa League winners, the Europa Conference League winners and the reigning champions of the MLS all taking part.

UEFA hopes the move will attract more female fans and families to football matches, while continuing to grow the European football brand in the American market, following on from the Premier League and La Liga's continued success in the region.

The revamped competition could take place in a different country, but UEFA have identified the US as the number one location as it is considered the main growth area for European football. Talks aren't believed to be at a serious stage, but the idea of a revamped Super Cup is gaining traction as it will drive more revenue and appeal to a new audience.

Further discussions over the revamped Super Cup are reportedly set to take place at the European Club Association’s general assembly in Istanbul on Thursday and Friday.
