Per L'Equipe Al-Khelaïfi needs to lower the wages of players because of the coronavirus
Football teams have been hugely affected by the coronavirus crisis in economic terms. Not playing games heavily reduces their income and the high salaries of players are causing problems as a result.
Many Ligue 1 clubs have opted for temporary lay-offs, with the French club paying 84 per cent of their players' salary and the state taking care of the rest.
However PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to do something different, the same as Barcelona, which is agreeing a salary reduction for his players. PSG's salary takes up 50 per cent of their overall budget 371 million for the year, from their 637 million annual salary.
