The widespread silence of LaLiga stars in recent weeks was abruptly broken by Toni Kroos. The Real Madrid midfielder spoke with German radio SWR Sport, where he pitched against the footballers' salary cuts, which he called "donations in vain." However, he does understand that the full salary should be paid "to do sensible things with him."

"We are all asked to help where it is needed, and there are many places where it is needed," Kroos said on the Steil Extra podcast ! from the aforementioned German radio, perhaps in veiled reference to its foundation, where sick and terminally ill children are assisted.

It must be remembered that last week LaLiga urged all its clubs to process their ERTE or to lower the salaries of soccer players to ensure survival and to save the season. At the moment, Real Madrid has not yet finalized this reduction in salaries in its staff, which would avoid the dismissal of many of its other employees.

The stop and the bubble

In any case, Kroos seems very concerned about the global crisis unleashed after the coronavirus. "It will depend on how long the break lasts. For example, if you play again in May, solutions will surely be found. If you have to wait until winter, I think that some club will no longer be able to return," revealed the three-time champion of the Champions League with the Madrid (2016, 2017, 2018).

During the 10-minute interview, the Real Madrid player was also skeptical about the future of the bubble of billionaire signings in the big leagues. "It is questionable whether those sums can continue to be paid. Rather, I think that there will be quite a few problems," he concluded.
