A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Corriere della Sera has highlighted the three topics that will be discussed in the three meetings next week, starting with the Lega Serie A assembly on Monday followed by the meeting on Thursday with the FIGC.
The report details how the meetings will be focused on solving three main issues, before a new meeting on Friday between FIGC president Gabriele Gravina and Minister of Sport Vincenzo Spadafora. The first topic that will be discussed is TV rights. Sky and DAZN pay a total of €973 million each year for the rights to broadcast Serie A, but clubs are waiting for the last €300 million installment, which is due on 1st May.
The second issue that must be solved is the situation regarding players’ salaries, the report continues. The League and the AIC are continuing their negotiations, but their positions are still far apart. Clubs have now begun talks with players internally to reach an agreement, similar to Juventus and how they handled the issue.
Finally, the meetings will discuss when the league can restart, the report continues. On Friday Spadafora is expected to tell Gravina the guidelines for a possible restart in May. UEFA have set a deadline on the 3rd August, meaning that Serie A needs to be fully finalised before then.
