Chelsea begins agreeing to a 10% pay cut after César Azpilicueta texted on behalf of the group

The Chelsea players agreed to take a 10 percent pay cut after a WhatsApp discussion led by Captain César Azpilicueta that garnered quick approval.

Sportsmail revealed on Saturday night how the Chelsea stars finally came to an agreement to cut their wages, although it has not yet been agreed by the club hierarchy.

However, discussions have been held with Managing Director Marina Granovskaia and they have been friendly.

According to the Mirror, Chelsea players responded quickly to Azpilicueta’s initial message to make a cut and his proposal is scheduled for September.

The Chelsea players have already made substantial contributions to Jordan Henderson’s NHS campaign and the club’s charities.

Several captains from other clubs have pointed out to their respective executives that Premier League clubs should not be experiencing cash flow problems today, although players are aware that the situation could quickly deteriorate in such an uncertain environment.

Chelsea stars have friendly talks with the club about cutting wages

The Chelsea players have reached a compromise agreement, which is similar to the agreement that Arsenal players are negotiating, which will result in a 12.5 percent cut.

The Southampton and West Ham players have already agreed to defer wages, while the Watford stars have a 30 percent salary deferral.

Chelsea has been widely praised for the coronavirus crisis with the club offering free hotel rooms for hospital staff at St Mary’s Paddington, Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital, as well as free meals for NHS staff and charities that support vulnerable people in the community.
