Sorry, I have to reiterate my disagreement. I can see your point but to me what you are suggesting is actually the end of football I as a European have grown up with.
First of all, moving the top clubs to an international, top division is a travesty, believe me the last thing I want to see is Madrid play with some random club from Saudi Arabia because they have Ronaldo. And I reckon the majority of the match-going fans feel like this.
Second, you'll be surprised how disinterested people from a given European country are with the football of another. Just look at the demeanor English clubs have towards European competitions.
Third and maybe most important, football is the game of the people, this fixation with money, TV rights, international tours, Messi and Ronaldo is slowly drowning the life out of the game. The last thing we need is another plastic competition, this time with some random clubs nobody cares about. I'll say it again, this is not the NBA, not the NFL, not the NHL, you get the picture.
