The Italian football League has made a peace offering to players which it hopes will prompt them to call off a strike that prevented Serie A from starting last weekend.
Lega Serie A, representing the 20 first division clubs, said in a statement it was willing to implement six new measures which had been agreed in principle with the Italian Players' Union last December.
It added it was also prepared to meet the AIC again to negotiate the so-called article seven, which concerns players who are no longer wanted by their clubs and which has been the main sticking point for an agreement.
The AIC wants a guarantee that players who are no longer wanted by their clubs will be allowed to train with the first-team squad until the end of their contracts.
Many Italians see the strike as futile with the League as much to blame as the players.
