Bavaria cut salary
After the recent quarantine of the midfield star, Bayern are now taking action, as reported by “Bild”. Accordingly, Kimmich, but also the allegedly unvaccinated Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Michael Cuisance were informed on Thursday that the stars’ salaries would be cut. In Bavaria, a regulation has been in effect since the beginning of November that clarifies that unvaccinated workers in quarantine are not entitled to continued wages.
The footballers do not receive any money retrospectively for the quarantine they have already completed. At Kimmich, whose annual salary is estimated at 20 million euros, the German record champions will save 384,000 euros. And as much again for the second quarantine that the midfielder is currently in.
