Probably best to put it here: Serie A clubs are seemingly looking to gobble up Sky Italia.
Plus the rumoured sale of their German service last year (where ProSiebenSat.1 and Canal+ were among those interested), weird to see Sky being a smaller player outside UK.
Quote:Serie A has made an internal preliminary analysis of a potential transaction, exploring scenarios such as taking a majority stake in the pay-TV operator owned by U.S. group Comcast (CMCSA.O) or part of its operations, a source familiar with the matter said.(Reuters)
A separate source told Reuters that under a plan floated by Serie A chief executive Luigi De Siervo, the league may use financing from international banks interested in investing in its media business to fund a potential deal.
The potential move would be consistent with the league's long-held ambition to build its own platform to screen games in Italy.
