Serie A teams value cutting the salaries of footballers

Serie A clubs are evaluating measures to avoid economic disaster facing the worst possible scenario in the coming months in the face of the coronavirus emergency: that the championships have to be permanently suspended. The idea of ​​the Lega Serie A is to resume the competitions on the first weekend of April, leaving players untrained for almost a month.

If this is not possible, according to the specialized media 'Calcio e Finanza', some clubs have already moved with their lawyers to study how to cut the salaries of their players and cushion the very hard blow that this scenario would entail, calculated at 700 million euros.

The teams would search a negotiation and an agreement with the Association of Footballers, avoiding going to court: a measure that in Italy is not ruled out, but that it would be avoided by postponing Euro 2020 and recovering all the games postponed in the months of May and June, perhaps starting behind closed doors. The certainty, with the passing of the days in Italy, is that in the next month and a half not a single match will be played.
