I think UEFA can do that with current format of UCL and EURO cups as the provided clubs for ESL
Lets say this ESL is consist of 20 clubs, then the inaugurated of ESL must have top 16 UCL clubs (top 16 round) from previous UCL and top 4 (semifinalist) from previous EURO cup
In real football match (90 minutes), all players eligible through the list submitted for 30 players (long league need more players)
Then ESL become the Current UCL (and to enter only from UCL and EURO Cup)
To cover the more games of domestic and UCL , then the 5 subs is become permanent by UEFA circa FIFA
But, it will become of the form 3 normal subs like now +2 U23 players subbed in, this will make clubs to spend more to get better U23 players to maximize their subs used . Hence improvement for young players
Then after that will be there are 6 clubs that relegated each season from ESL, but they still can play in UCL or Euro if they reach that position through their domestic position. So UCL will be 2nd top continent comp and Euro Cup will be 3rd top (but cannot if their nations quota is fulfilled by another club in ESL, read why need nations quota below). This quota will come from UEFA coefficient ranking
Another option is 10 clubs relegated from ESL and the promoted is 8 from UCL (quarter finalist) and 2 from European League (finalist)
With this will become more circulation and makes every league more competitive
And for ESL promotion for next season after will be top 4(semifinalist from UCL) and top 2 (finalist from EURO)
And the other 14 club tops will keep their position in ESL that will bring the best $$$
But while everything seems great and that is meritocracy fulfilled to the max. This will become disaster with this setup
Because we can see every club from EPL keep getting promoted to ESL year by year then ESL becoming EPL++
How to overcome that is the limitation of the total club of country play in Europe(quota), so lets say there is 6 England clubs play in ESL, then only 1 other club will play in UCL and no England club played in EURO cup, because the quota of England is 7 clubs to compete in Europe
Another problem is UCL becoming less competitive and Euro Cup even more less competitive and the money will go through ESL (UCL money+), UCL become EURO+ (less than current UCL Money) , then EURO become EURO CUP II + in terms of money
The 12 founding club is not necessarily becoming the founder and fix participant but if they can keep their performance they will always be in ESL
I think top club like Real, Barca, Juve, City, MU,PSG,Inter who have the most resources will always stay in the league

I feel like in order to take football to the next level, fans should be able to participate in the game.
All ESL footballers should do an instagram or Tiktok promo with one of China social media influencers.
And also. Remove VAR. Key decisions like dubious penalty should be an online voting system by fans who pay. Sure it can take some minutes but VAR is already slowing the game now anyway. Can you imagine the kind of money such a game can generate?
Football belongs to everyone so let everyone have a say. Some may see it as unfair but having a Colombian drug/rapist get bribed by Korea vs Italy is more unfair.
