Lead Serie A negotiator concedes €1.7 billion private equity deal is "difficult to imagine" without support from top clubs

CVC, Advent and FSI's offer to acquire ten per cent of the Serie A for €1.7 billion is looking increasingly likely to fall through.

Udinese vice president Stefano Campoccia says negotiations have been put on hold during the league's media rights tender.

Part of a committee of five to negotiate the offer, he fears clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan have had their heads turned by the "Super League" proposal - which seems like it is still being worked on.

An increased financial outlook means clubs are no longer reliant on committing to the offer.
