"We should produce the content and then place it with the various platforms", he suggests

The owner of Italian Serie A leaders Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has become the latest senior figure in the league to speak out against plans to allow external investors to put money in its media business.

“I have always been against selling,” Aurelio de Laurentiis told Reuters on Monday. “We should produce the content and then place it with the various platforms – Amazon, Netflix, Apple, DAZN and Sky,” the film producer said.

Gerry Cardinale, whose RedBird Capital company owns AC Milan, made similar remarks last week when asked about reports that banks and investment funds were keen to acquire a share of Serie A’s media rights operation.
