Nigeria internationals Alex Iwobi of Everton, Leicester
City duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho face a 20% pay cut as Premier
League players may reportedly be asked to help non-league clubs during the
coronavirus pandemic, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.
While top-flight clubs are
well-equipped to handle the unexpected loss of revenue, the same cannot be said
of teams in the EFL and non-league.
According to The Sun, talks have been held between the
relevant governing bodies with regards to how to come through the ongoing
global crisis.
The report suggests that players may be asked if they are
prepared to reduce their income by a fifth, with that money then being given to
clubs in the National League and below.
Although March would not be included, it is claimed that
a portion of wages collected throughout April, May and June could raise in the
region of £105m.
Earlier this week, the Football Association announced
that all leagues below the National League North and South had been brought to
an end with immediate effect.
