The only reason Inter became a team is because AC Milan wouldn't hire international players so some of the team broke away and started Internazionale.
The EPL does get the most coverage since just about every nation has at least 1 of their best players their. Just to name a few Arshavin (Russia), Howard and Dempsey (USA), Cech (Czech), Torres (Spain), Clichy (France), Fabiano (Brazil), Mascherano (Argentina), Pienaar (South Africa), Yobo and Yakubu (Nigeria), Drogba (Cote d'Ivore), Essien (Ghana).
