Serie A players strike threat looms again in Italy
Football fans in Italy could yet be deprived of action
Players in Italy's Serie A have agreed to take strike action if a deal on a new collective contract with the league is not reached by 30 November.
Earlier this week, the top-flight clubs rejected a proposal to reopen talks to avoid a the dispute escalating.
The Italian Players' Association (AIC) responded on Friday, saying it "will wait until 30 November to announce the date of a matchday strike".
The collective contract between the AIC and Serie A expired in the summer.
One of the main sticking points in the dispute is a proposal by clubs to limit the rights of their players to refuse to be transferred.
The clubs want the right to insist that when a player has a year remaining on his contract, he must accept a transfer to a club of equal standing that guarantees him the same financial treatment.
They propose that if the player does not agree to move he must instead come to a deal over his contract with his current employers.
In September, the two sides reached an agreement in to avoid a strike on the third weekend of that month.
On Tuesday, Italian Football Federation president Giancarlo Abete, acting as a mediator, advised setting aside key sticking points in a bid to revive negotiations.
But Serie A president Maurizio Beretta called Abete's proposal "unacceptable", saying all issues should be discussed.
