Leeds United have agreed to pay their players a bonus of around two per cent of the wages they are deferring during the shutdown — so they will end up being better off when the season resumes.
The Championship leaders were the first club to reach an agreement with their players over wage deferrals last month, with owner Andrea Radrizzani offering the bonus as a gesture of thanks.
Leeds have been badly hit in the short term by the impact of the coronavirus crisis, despite being on the cusp of a return to the Premier League when the season was suspended.
