We need strong serie a for
- better sponsorship deals and overall revenue growth
- attacting tier 1 talents
- big match sharpness as CL training
Doesn't mean we will stop winning. In La Liga Sevilla doesn't win $#@!, Villareal doesn't win $#@! and Atletico wins $#@! once in a million years. They are no danger for Barca/ Real but still very strong in terms of representing the league.
-Italy already has second best TV deal, no? The new BPL TV deal will also increase the amount of money other leagues get for their new tv deals. I'm not saying they will be same as big but much bigger than the current ones.
-Serie A is still at least third best league in Europe. What's more, it's not like that BPL and LaLiga are three levels above.
-Napoli, Roma, Inter, Milan, Fiorentina are good European teams (or will be sooner or later as Milan). Especially if I compare them to the teams you mentioned later: Villarreal, Sevilla. Ok, you will argue that Sevilla won EL several times but again, the gap between them and Italian teams that I mentioned is not that big and could be closed even in two seasons.
I also would not be surprised if there is no team in Spain besides Real, Barca, Atletico that has a bigger budget than before mentioned calcio representatives.

Juve needs strong Italian players. If we had a good generation of Italians to pick from, we'd be better off than in a strong Serie A. Like how all the good Germans play for Bayern.
Valid point. I agree.
