Florentino Perez Cracks Down: Salary Cuts Hit Real Madrid Squad After Embarrassing Loss to Barcelona
Following Real Madrid’s disappointing defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, club president Florentino Perez and coach Carlo Ancelotti have decided to slash all players’ weekly wages. Perez reportedly declared he could no longer justify paying high salaries to players who fail to meet expectations. He made it clear that reducing their pay will force them to become more serious about their performances, and any player unhappy with the decision is free to leave the club this summer.
The move marks a dramatic shift in Real Madrid’s internal policy, signaling a tough new era where reputation alone will not protect players from consequences.
