Perez questioned the reported salary, stating that it sounds like a lot. He also expressed uncertainty about the list's accuracy, saying he wouldn't make any statements until he knows if it's true. VoetbalPrimeur reported Perez's comments on Voetbalpraat.
The list, published by BILD, features several high-profile coaches, including Zinedine Zidane, who earns 3.6 million euros, and Carlo Ancelotti, who tops the list with 10 million euros. Perez's comments come after a recent story about the KNVB cutting costs during the World Cup, including not bringing a fourth goalkeeper.
Perez joked that maybe 3 million euros is the price to pay for a good candidate, but 3 million sounds like a lot. He added that he thinks 3 thousand euros would be a more reasonable amount. The KNVB's financial situation and Xavi's reported salary will likely be topics of discussion in the coming days.
The KNVB will likely need to address the reported salary and its implications for the team's finances.
