Inter Milan are ready to stop buying from smaller Italian clubs after seeing their share in TV revenue reduced.
The situation is tearing Serie A apart, as five clubs (Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli and Roma) lost a vote to decide how the pay-per-view television rights would be divided up between the 20 sides.
"This split in the Lega will spread into a transfer market battle, because the big clubs could just decide to trade with each other," declared Inter director Ernesto Paolillo on Radio Crc.
"We can say that very openly. Transfers are negotiated with clubs you have a good rapport with.
"If on the one hand those 15 clubs take our money away from the five 'big' sides, then we won't buy their players, as that would give them even more funding."
