Roma Seek Assistance From UEFA To Bring Julio Baptista's Wages Down - Report
Roma turn to UEFA over Julio Baptista wages as sale of club procedures begin.
Roma are considering approaching UEFA in an attempt to slash Julio Baptista's wages, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
Relations between club and player have become stilted after he refused a transfer during the summer window.
Baptista rejected the chance to join a number of sides who were keen on landing him from Roma who were eager to sell.
However, he remained, much to the discontent of Rosella Sensi who is expected to call Michel Platini directly over imposing a reduction on Baptista's pay.
Meanwhile, the countdown to the sale of the club had begun in Rome. Lawyers from the Rothschild group, hired by Unicredit to find a buyer, will meet on Friday.
They are expected to discuss interest which emerged in July when Italpetroli relinquished its assets including Roma to Unicredit as part of a debt settlement plan.
Pharmaceutical magnate Francesco Angelini, and Arab investment group Aabar have been linked with the Lupi's acquisition. -

This is quite a strange news... Since they are the ones to give him that contract in the first place, then now want to reduce his salary before it ends?
It's like can Chelsea asked Platini to reduce John Terry's $150k a week salary now that he is only into his second year of a 5 yrs deal and already showing signs of slowing down?
Players fight so hard for their contract, length and amount. But if can half way cut then whats the point? lol.

But then again, you see players like Robinho, Mascherano, Cristiano Ronaldo etc, holding club ransom so that they can "realise their dream to play for their dream club".
It's a double-edge sword actually. But since Roma offered him the deal, they should honour it. Why not ask their other star players, directors and coaching staff to take pay cut? I'm sure Totti earn huge mega bucks as compared to Baptista's peanuts.
