By AFPMore by this AuthorMILANItaly's Serie A clubs on Friday reiterated their unanimous desire to complete the football season interrupted amid the coronavirus crisis. The emergency Lega Serie A assembly via video of the 20 top flight clubs came after Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora this week said the chances of restarting were "increasingly narrow". The top flight clubs have repeatedly insisted that they want to finish the 2019-20 campaign which has been suspended since March 9 amid the health crisis which has killed nearly 28,000 people in Italy. Clubs would like to resume training on May 18 at the latest and start playing again in the weekend of June 13-14. Gravina estimates that Italian football would suffer losses of up to Sh87 billion ($870 million) in TV rights, sponsors, ticketing and marketing in the event of the season being cancelled.
