In January, while the National Union of Professional Footballers called for a collective effort by players to help clubs, Keylor Navas revealed that the Parisian locker room had not been surveyed on the subject.
“We are well aware of the situation linked to the pandemic, we had already had a salary reduction during confinement.
By then, the competitions had stopped and it was necessary.
We don't know what will happen and the competition is still ongoing.
We deserve our salary every day and we haven't been asked for anything yet, so I can't have an opinion on the subject, ”slipped the Parisian goalkeeper.
Last June, Le Parisien said that no agreement had been found between the management of the club, which had requested an effort, and the players.
In recent months, the club has resorted to partial unemployment for some of the employees, administrative staff (marketing and ticketing in particular).
