Salaries at 7-8 thousand euros: Super leagues in crisis? The Downcoming Pays Warning

The financial crisis has returned to Kosovo football, so many footballers and trainers went to winter break without taking all their salaries from a large part of their clubs. The trend of salary increases in Kosovo football has not stopped even the pandemic, which even in the largest European clubs has imposed pay cuts. Viewing the situation, Llap donor and coach Tahir Batatina proposes wage cuts of up to 30 per cent in Kosovo as well. That's what clubs have to do together.

The first part of the championship in Kosovo's Superleague has already ended, while numerous winter vacation footballers and trainers will go without taking all their salaries from their clubs. This has been a significant part of clubs that have long faced financial crisis, which has also felt at clubs that have somehow managed to fulfill their obligations to football players, trainers and their employees, writes the newspaper Express.

If the pressure is 140/90... blood vessels must be cleaned.
More recently, clubs such as Pristina, the Balkans, Drenica, Fernikel and Llap in debt from one to four months have been identified with their players, who have very high salaries. Kosovo's Superleague reportedly has football players who receive salaries of up to 7 or 8 thousand euros a month. This increase began shortly before pandemic, which in many European countries has forced even the largest European clubs to reduce wages. In contrast, the trend of large salaries in Kosovo has not stopped even the pandemic, which has contributed to the deepening financial crisis of clubs, which are financed by several donors whose businesses have been affected by Ovid 19.

The financial crisis has also been felt at one of the largest clubs in the Superleague, in Llap, which is financed by the Batatina family. The Donator, who also holds the post of chief trainer in Llap, Tahir Batatina, in a conversation with Gazeta Express, suggests that the wage cut in Kosovo's Superliga will not be jeopardised by the future of elite clubs.

I think the salaries in the Superleague are down to 30 percent. And this should be done jointly with a comprehensive reconciliation and co-ordination”, says Express Batatina, who believes a 30 percent wage reduction would also be understood by footballers, who would still continue to be paid enjoyablely.

There are “in Kosovo's Superleagues that have players paid for even 7 or 8 thousand euros a month. The average salary is believed to be 3500 euros. There is nowhere in the region but us in Kosovo”, Batatina points out.

He relates how in a period of period, salaries that were trisiferal were converted into quarterly. “The euphoria of membership in U EFA. Euphoria's dignified participation in European competitions resulted in this rapid and large wage increase. But it's dangerous for the future of clubs, for stability, so we need to start control, step over on the ground and work hard for a safer future”, Batataina underlined.

According to him, club donors deserve social and institutional respect for the sacrifices they make for Kosovo football. If you were in the position of a donor who gives everything to football, it's hard to understand a donor. But I assure you that for these people, books will be written and will be heard by future generations. We give up without winning anything. We don't count on something to gain. So football donors deserve respect, but even institutional support”, potential Batatina.

The financial crisis has been a long time in Kosovo football, which is not even eliminating Kosovo's membership in U. FIFA EFA.
