On a day when the Premier League warned of “difficult decisions”, amidst mounting speculation its clubs were pushing for an abandonment, Gravina stuck to his guns.

“The primary objective is to resume the season,” he told Radio Sportiva.

“We’ve outlined a scenario that foresees the resumption of the league campaigns because I think it’s the right thing to do.

“We have a duty to carry out this hypothesis. We’re also working on alternative hypotheses, to give concrete answers to our clubs and fans.”

The payment of salaries, many of them in excess of €100,000 a week, is fast becoming an issue for clubs…

“Several initiatives have been launched and we’re trying to find mediation between different positions.”

He later added to ANSA: “We’ll send you the salary plan by Monday.”
