Lazio president Lotito: Ending Growth Decree will destroy AC Milan and Juventus

Lazio president Claudio Lotito says the scrapping of the Growth Decree will hurt Serie A's biggest clubs.

The Italian Government has voted to end the tax break for clubs on December 31.

"It's a very dumb move," Lotito told Notizie.com.

“I'd like to see who wants to come here from abroad now. And the State will lose out too, because it will get less revenue coming in.

Lazio do not have any particular problems regarding contracts, but Milan, Juventus and Roma risk being destroyed by this type of situation."

Lotito blames the local players' union for the Growth Decree ending.

“They are the ones who did everything to wreck this decree. They said things that were unfair about the youth academies, as if 14-year-olds were promoted to the senior squad. Well done them, now we'll see what they will do when the league is less competitive."
