There is apparently a stand-off between some Premier League players and their respective clubs regarding the handling of the wage cuts during the current coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier on Friday, the Premier League clubs held a video conference meeting where it was made public that the teams will seek to persuade their respective players to take 30 per cent pay-cuts on their salaries.
However, according to The Athletic, the clubs have only proposed a 10 per cent pay cut and the remaining 20 per cent of the wages would be withheld until the beginning of the 2020/21 campaign.
