American sports don't have this problem because the leagues become de facto monopolies. Smaller clubs would lack exposure and die off. And any player worth a damn would be in the hypothetical continental league.

You've said it right there. Does this sound good to you? Cause it sure sounds horrible to me.

It sounds horrible. If you would have a league like this, clubs like Real Madrid and PSG would just buy every player that can kick a ball normally in case he becomes a good players, destroying all other competitions. Also, teams like Porto and Roma would go bankrupt within 5 years. The only reason these teams exist is because they are the top of their league, if they would be the worst of an international league no player on earth wants to move to them.
