He also said, that the average wage of the players will not surpass 300.000 euros, except from one or two exceptions. Finally, He announced, that the previous season's largest contract, which is the contract of Jean-Alain Boumsong will not exist at the team and that some lower, but still too high for the next year's standards contracts, such as the contracts of Toché or Vitolo, a renew will be offered, but with a major reduce, bigger the 50%.
