It was already known, because the same Chinese federation had dropped it a few weeks ago, that the
salaries of the footballers of the Super
League, like those of other leagues, were going to suffer cuts. Well, now
you know what the discount proposal is: 30%. All for trying to offset the
economic crisis that COVID-19 will entail.
The federation is now waiting for a response from the clubs
of the Super League (CSL), the
Chinese first division and those of the two lower divisions, according to the
People's Daily, the official press organ of the central committee of the Chinese
Communist Party. "Once the opinions have been collected and examined, the
Federation will speak to FIFA and
other relevant bodies," adds the state media.
Recall that the start of the Chinese championship season, originally scheduled for February 22,
was postponed indefinitely due to the spread of the new coronavirus, which
appeared in Hubei province in December.
A new date has not yet been set for the resumption of the
championship but, according to the Chinese press, it could start in late June.
