The agent of new Borussia Dortmund signing Ciro Immobile says Serie A clubs lack the financial power to compete.
Immobile left Torino last week to sign for the German giants.
Marco Sommella said: "Unfortunately Italian football isn't able to attract the top players and in fact, it's the third year in a row that Italy has lost its top goal scorer.
"It's not a question of a lack of offers from Italy but when teams like Borussia, PSG or Real Madrid come in, the Italian teams don't have the power to attract players."
