The players’ wages have been discussed widely in the Italian media and last night Juventus confirmed to have reached an agreement with their own stars, to help save the club €90m through salary cuts.
Tommasi has revealed that the players are ready to discuss the measures needed when the time is right and pointed out that “the health of everyone” comes first.
“We are available to do our part, but first we need to understand if we will resume play or not,” Tommasi told Corriere della Sera. “The priority is the health of everyone, even the players.
“I hear about teams that want to train; we follow the protocol of the medical federation. It’s a difficult moment and we have prioritise.
“Football isn’t the priority now. We must understand that it’s necessary to change our habits. The issue of sustainability of the system is also of interest to us and we want the economic balance to be preserved."
