A possible pointer to future EPL rights bidding.

apparently, DAZN are looking to muscle in on the Serie A rights in Italy (currently held by Sky Italia) a the bidding is expected to conclude this week.

DAZN holds the exclusive EPL rights in Canada, Spain and Japan.

2 things interest me, firstly are the Italian rights exclusive in Italy? If so how is that allowed when EU made the EPL become non-exclusives?

Secondly, the article states DAZN is a 'loss-making platform' - does anyone know who owns DAZN?
