The proposal of Captain César Azpilicueta, agreed with the
club has been accepted by his teammates and will be applied in September. The Chelsea players have reached an
agreement with the board and will cut the salary by 10 percent to help the club
alleviate the crisis caused by the coronavirus.
In the absence of it becoming official, according to the English press, a
message via WhatsApp from Captain César Azpilicueta with the proposal agreed
with the club has quickly found the approval of all his teammates after the
relevant chat.
The dialogue between the representatives of the staff and
Marina Granovskaia, director of Chelsea,
has been constant and positive. The salary cut will apply from September.
Chelsea is the fourth Premier
League team to agree to cut their pay, although only two of them,
Southampton and West Ham, have made the deal public. On Friday, the agreement
between the players and the Arsenal management also came to light, while at
Watford the pact is very close.
The Premier League
footballers have been in the eye of the hurricane in recent weeks as,
despite pressure from even the political sphere, the union that represents them
has not reached an agreement with all the clubs to reducing wages.
