Arsenal: Mesut Özil and two other players refused wage cuts

This is not going to make good publicity to a Mesut Özil who did not really need that to tarnish his image even more. While Arsenal announced in the evening that it had reached an agreement with its players to temporarily lower wages by 12.5% ​​(until March 2021), the Mirror informs us that the German international and two other players refused.

The former Madrilenian (under contract until June 2021), who earns the biggest salary among the Gunners (around 400,000 € per week), told his leaders that he wanted to wait to see how the situation will develop before to make a decision. The player’s agent, Erkut Sogut, had recently explained that he was not in favor of this drop because “We will only know within three to six months what the exact financial impact will be on the clubs. Salary deferral is an option, but you can’t agree to a salary cut now when clubs could still make the same profit as last year. ” This is likely to be seriously talked about within Arsenal but also throughout England.
