Italy's Serie A football league may consider reviving plans to sell shares in its media business after potential bidders offered to pay more after the success of its domestic TV rights tender.
Serie A has been in talks for months with consortiums including CCC Capital Partners, Advent International, and Italian fund FSI, which offered 1.7 billion euros for a 10% stake in the Italian League's media business handling unit. Offered.
But the plan then spread, with seven clubs, including Juventus and Inter Milan, pushing against the deal, declaring Sri Lanka's domestic TV rights tender better than expected.
"The value that Serie A has given to the tender for the central package of TV rights means that, if such a project is to be revived, the value of that value will have to be reviewed. "(Investors) value Serie A just to be considered," Agnelli told Reuters in an interview.
He said that it is a matter of all 20 Sri A clubs.
"It's not something we can do alone," he said.
Agnelli has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Juventus' plans have been made more than once.
"It's not like Juventus are left alone," he said, referring to the Serie A deal.
Asked if the European Super League was an obstacle to the project, he said: "No, not at all. They were two different things running in parallel."
Juventus have been founding members of a European Super League project, which has collapsed after eight members of 12 clubs from England, Italy and Spain abandoned the breakaway project under intense pressure from fans, politicians and football officials.
Following the announcement of the Breakaway League, Agnelli resigned as head of the European Club Association.
"I'll see the glass half-filled: it'll give me time to focus on everything at Juventus alone, which is my love," he said.
"In the case of our club, we can focus on the next goal that is winning the UEFA Champions League."
