MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Revenues from football's domestic broadcast rights deals are expected to fall across Europe's top leagues this year, due to a lack of competition between broadcasters, in a further blow to COVID-19 hit clubs who have spent almost a year without fans in stadiums.

Italy's Serie A could announce their deals for the 2021-2024 cycle later this week with revenue unlikely to meet the 1.15 billion euros ($1.39 billion) a year target and could fall slightly short of the 973 million a year current deal.
