Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer says Serie A has lost its gloss for players.
Beckenbauer believes talented players are now giving the prospect of playing in Italy a big swerve.
"Before, everybody wanted to play in Serie A, but this is clearly no longer the case," Beckenbauer told Calciomercato.com.
"I think that stadiums play a big role in the decline of Italian football. The stadiums they have are simply not good enough. Italian football needs a big international tournament to freshen things up a bit."
