Footballers in Spain criticise league's call to put players on government furloughs during Covid-19 crisis
General view as a fan poses outside the stadium before the match Real Madrid v Barcelona - Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain - March 1, 2020.
The league and the players’ association have been in talks to try to find ways to mitigate losses that could reach nearly $1.08 billion if the season cannot be restarted because of the pandemic. “The clubs and the players have been reaching agreements regarding the salaries,” the players’ association said. “What footballers are not going to do is relinquish labor rights.”
The Spanish league said it expects such agreements — furloughs or individual deals between clubs and players — to cover the vast majority of professional football in Spain. It said they “will ensure that the industry suffers a minor blow in this health crisis that also brings an economic crisis.” The government furloughs help reduce the clubs’ labor costs while also guaranteeing players their jobs once the crisis is over.
