Football investor: Malaga layoffs could provide struggling teams with example for cutting wages post coronavirus

The Spanish second-division club last week initiated collective redundancy to ensure their survival.

The move has enabled Malaga to get rid of their high-cost players on the cheap, paving the way for others to follow suit, according to football investor Alexander Janssen.

Another option potentially in the works is for Malaga to merge with third-tier club Marbella.
