AS Roma's players, coach and staff give up four months salary to help their club fight financial fallout of Covid-19
Henrikh Mkhitaryan celebrates scoring AS Roma's second goal against Lecce with Bryan Cristante and teammates, Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy, Feb. 23, 2020.
Serie A has been suspended since March 9 and it is not known if or when the season will be able to re-start. Roma said in a statement on Sunday that the players would forego the wages they were due to receive between March and the scheduled end of the season in June. “ Edin Dzeko, all the players and Paulo Fonseca have demonstrated they understand what this club stands for and we also thank them all for their superb gesture towards the employees at this club.”However, a Serie A recommendation that similar cuts be made at all top flight clubs has been rejected by the players’ union which argues that those at smaller clubs are less able to afford reductions.
