Real Madrid’s players, coaches and “main
directors” will take a pay cut of 10-20% this year as the club deals with
the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Football in Spain has been suspended indefinitely since
March, when the country declared a state of emergency.
Real said the decision to reduce pay was “taken by
players, coaches and employees” to avoid “traumatic measures that
affect the rest of the workers”.
The club’s basketball team have also agreed voluntary pay
cuts.
Real said the move was “depending on the circumstances
that may affect the closing of the current 2019-20 sports season”. (Text
