The players of the French Stadium have accepted a 20% drop in salary, the president and owner of the Ile-de-France club Hans-Peter Wild announced on Tuesday.

"We found an agreement on a fairly significant effort. It was important that the players understand the difficulty of the situation. They were aware from the start, they responded present," said Thomas Lombard, general manager, first Pink Soldiers, without going into details.

"It's a 20% drop for everyone," said Wild.

The clubs of Castres, Toulouse, Toulon, Pau, Brive, Clermont, Montpellier and even Bordeaux-Bègles have also signed similar agreements in recent weeks.
