Players in Serie A could have their wages suspended this month in the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia.
With football on hold for the time being due to the current crisis situation, there are great fears over clubs and the league itself making significant financial losses due to not receiving income they were expecting to receive such as money from gate receipts for the clubs.
In the past few days the topic of players helping out has been heavily discussed and reports have suggested players could be asked to take pay cuts to help cushion the financial blow with one report even suggesting players could have wages cut by as much as 30%.
The 20 Serie A clubs have given Lega Serie A president Paolo Dal Pino a mandate to speak with Italian football federation president Gabriele Gravina on the topic and with the president of the Italian players association Damiano Tommasi.
The report goes on to conclude that in the event that the season does not resume whatsoever, the Italian football federation are prepared to seek financial assistance from the Italian government.
