Andrea Ranocchia played a significant role in Inter players opening up to the possibility of giving up their wages according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.
The former Inter captain, who is the club’s representative in the Italian players association, is still seen as a leader in the dressing room and had a big role to play in things before club captain Samir Handanovic phoned club chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta to confirm that the players are open to taking cuts to help out.
Should Inter players go down the same route as Juventus players by waiving the wages for the months of March, April, May and June, they will save the club €17 million but this sum is only an estimate and does not take into consideration any individual negotiations that may take place between the club and players over the issue.
The report from the Turin newspaper goes on to state that the Italian players association would only like to suspend salaries for a month but clubs wish to have salaries suspended until the end of June.
