Italy’s top football league Serie A is in talks over a broadcast deal with state-backed Abu Dhabi Media and on a separate agreement to host its Super Cup in the emirate, three sources with knowledge of the matter said. Serie A’s clubs representatives are due to discuss the bid at a meeting scheduled for June 7, the sources added. The Super Cup would change to a four-team competition – as in Spain since 2019 – rather than being a match between the winners of Serie A and the Italian Cup, the sources said. This other deal, whose terms are still being discussed, could be worth 129 million euros, the people added. It would replace a similar agreement with Saudi Arabia, worth 21 million euros, after it expires next season.
