While there hasn't been a huge amount of appetite for Todd Boehly's all-star game idea in England, it appears to be a different story in Italy.
Chelsea owner Boehly has proposed a US-style game, with teams representing the north and south facing off in an exhibition match. The biggest issue, however, could be the difficulty of finding space in what is an already packed sporting calendar.
That's one of the reasons why the PFA has poured cold water on the idea, but there is support from other quarters. Serie A chief Lorenzo Casini appears keen, while even former England defender Rio Ferdinand has shown some encouragement.
