“The economic and financial effects of the understanding reached are positive for about 90 million euros ($100.26 million)for the 2019/2020 financial year”, the Italian champions said in a statement on Saturday.

“The understanding provides for the reduction of the compensation for an amount equal to the monthly payments of March, April, May and June 2020”, Juve added, saying personal agreements with coach Maurizio Sarri and the players will be finalised in the coming weeks.
