The London club aims to reduce the payrolls of its footballers by 10% to alleviate the
economic crisis that is stemming from the coronavirus
pandemic. The measure, announced by the Daily Mail, could allow the 'blues' to
save more than 11 million Euros.
After learning that Arsenal
footballers had agreed to cut wages for a year, Chelsea has started negotiations with its footballers to discuss a
cut in their chips and to alleviate the economic crisis that is causing the
Covid-19.
According to the Daily
Mail, the 'blues' intend to reduce the payrolls of the players by 10% to
save around 11 million Euros. The
idea, for the moment, does not seduce the members of the first template,
supporters of making a deferment of payments and not a cut in their chips.
Lampard or the captain, César Azpilicueta, understands that
they must help the entity, which initially hoped to be able to reduce wages by
30%. Roman Abramovic, owner of the club, has led several initiatives to try to
help society in these times of crisis.
Its hotel, located on the Stamford Bridge is available to
healthcare personnel, while the club will continue to provide 78,000 meals to
the NHS (public health) and charities to support the elderly, one of the most
vulnerable groups.
