(Reuters) - Private equity firms CVC Capital Partners and Advent International are preparing a joint 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) bid for a stake in a media firm to be set up by Italy's Serie A soccer league, three sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Looking for ways to lift flagging revenues and weather the coronavirus crisis, Serie A has asked investors to submit bids to buy a stake of up to 15% in a newly-created media company that would control its broadcast rights.
