UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin announced his desire to introduce a salary cap in football
President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Aleksander Čeferin wanted to introduce a salary cap in football. He spoke about his desire in an interview with Men in Blazers, which is available on the publication’s YouTube channel.
“In the future, we should seriously think about introducing a salary cap. If budgets skyrocket, then our competitive balance will become a problem,” Čeferin said. He emphasized that this would help preserve the value of the competition.
“It should be a collective decision – each league and UEFA. After all, if some leagues introduce a salary cap, while others do not, this will also not make sense, ”he added. Ceferin noted that during the discussion of the issue, everyone supported the introduction of restrictions.
Earlier, the former Zenit striker Alexei Gasilin complained about the hard life of the players. He urged not to criticize the players for high salaries, noting that out of millions of athletes, few reach good earnings. “Being a professional footballer is hard work. You spend your entire childhood not knowing if you can make it or not. Football players take risks, donate, so everyone’s salaries are justified, ”Gasilin said.
