“The assignment of TV rights? In my opinion we did the right thing, the channel was a fascinating project in some ways but also very risky”. Thus the president of Turin Urban Cairo after the League Assembly which assigned the TV rights of the Serie A still on Dazn and Sky from the 2024/25 season to the 2028/29 season.
“De Laurentiis’ statements?
I respect him, but I think differently from him – adds Cairo instead on the words from the president of Napoli -. I don't think Italian football will die with this choice, the contract being too long was the basis on which the broadcasters made the offer".
“It wasn't what we wanted, but with the revenue sharing part it's not a completely bad deal and the offer could be higher. The one tied to a TV channel would have been a mistake.
De Laurentiis will one day say thank you, paraphrasing what Antonio Ricci said to Prime Minister Meloni”, concludes the Torino owner.
