MILAN (Reuters) - Serie A is considering live-streaming some matches on YouTube in the Middle East and North Africa as Italy's top-flight soccer league faces a stalemate over the sale of broadcasting rights in the region, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The league, home to Juventus, AC Milan and Inter, has been trying for months to break a deadlock over the sale of rights to screen its matches over the next three seasons across a market which includes territories such as Egypt, Morocco and the Gulf States.
