MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's Serie A football clubs have signed a contract with Swiss-based agency Infront that guarantees them at least 6 billion euros (£4.95 billion) in income from television rights for the next six seasons, Infront said on Wednesday.

Infront will now negotiate a deal with the television companies for the rights to broadcast matches, which are shared between clubs and make well over half of their annual income.
