Premier League players are set to start negotiations on a club-by-club basis over proposed wage cuts.

It comes after talks aimed at a collective pay deal in response to the coronavirus crisis broke down without resolution over the weekend.

The Premier League proposed a 30 percent pay cut, but the Professional Footballersโ€™ Association says that may harm the NHS.

The row has escalated into one of the most serious disputes between players and clubs in the leagueโ€™s history.

The government has said it expects the football authorities to โ€œcome together with an agreement urgently.โ€

Writing in Mondayโ€™s Telegraph, the culture secretary Oliver Dowden said: โ€œthe deadlock between the PFA and the Premier League clubs on playersโ€™ wage cuts is deeply concerning.โ€

โ€œClubs, players and owners should be thinking very carefully about their next steps,โ€ he wrote. (Text, photo by Guardian)
