Bari's council has moved to avoid the risk of bankruptcy by agreeing a deal over the €1.12m debt.

The club has been doomed to relegation from Serie A, but also ran the real risk of disappearing off the football map.

AS Bari have agreed to pay €1.12m over a five-year period to the local council. From October 31, they will hand over 60 instalments of €20,000 per month.

In return, the council will forego the interest accrued on the outstanding debt.
