"Arsenal" footballers refused to accept a proposal to reduce their wages © JumpStory

The teams that have fallen into the trap of coronavirus are looking for ways to survive this crisis and return to normal tracks.

"Goal" reports that London's "Arsenal" executives have started negotiations with the main team players regarding reducing salaries for the next season. However, so far this has not produced tangible results.

It is reported that the footballers were informed of the team's financial situation and offered to reduce salaries for the next season by 12.5%. However, the offer included a condition that salaries would not be reduced if the team were to play in the Champions League next season.

However, this did not impress the footballers themselves, who rejected the proposal. It is reported that in order to approve the agreement, at least 75% of the players' approval was required, and although some agreed with the proposal, the majority rejected it.

It is estimated that such a reduction in salaries would have allowed "Arsenal" executives to save approximately 25 million pounds.

However, the "gunners" players are willing to reduce their income to help support other employees, but they hope to receive more favorable conditions.
