Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has sparked widespread controversy in Spain and in Europe after press statements saying that "deductions from players’ salaries during this period are like useless donations. "Tony Kroes stressed that" players should get their full salaries without a decrease " "But he said, on the other hand, that every player must search for the appropriate way for him to contribute to the support of his club or community, during the current period in which the spherical activity and all other activities cease completely, due to the outbreak of the Coruna virus.
The Spanish newspaper "AS" quoted Tony Croce as saying: The deduction of the players ’salaries will inevitably strengthen the club’s administrations, because this will boost their financial reserves to spend on other matters, but I think that this matter will not reach the most needy and most affected by the current crisis. Real Madrid began negotiating with its players to reduce their salaries, similar to what happened in Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
