Lega Serie A are in the process of examining the potential impact that cancelling the remainder of the 2019/20 Serie A season could have according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.
In the event the season is cancelled, there will be no title awarded and the top six clubs will be Italy’s representatives in European competitions next term.
It remains to be seen what will happen with relegation with two ideas currently being examined. The first would see no relegation take place and two promoted from Serie B making 22 teams in Serie A. The other idea is to relegate two and promote two and keep 20 teams in the league.
In terms of the financial side of things, there would be a significant impact with the report stating clubs and the league could lose a combined €700 million due to lost gate receipts and television revenue among other things.
The report from the Milan based newspaper goes on to add that wage cuts remains a hot topic at the moment and many clubs are evaluating how they can cut their players wages.
