Serie A says it has unanimously decided to reduce player salaries by a third if the season does not resume.

The Italian soccer players' association has not yet signed off on the deal.

The league says in a statement that the guideline measure was agreed on by 19 of the 20 clubs. Juventus already reached a similar deal with its players.

The league says the agreement is "a common line of action to contain" salaries for "players, coaches and members of first squads."
The league adds "it remains understood that the clubs will define the agreements directly with their members."
