Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan says he'd be willing to take a pay-cut during the coronavirus pandemic.

Players in some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Barcelona and Juventus, have taken large pay-cuts while there are no matches being played.

"Of course I think it's okay, that goes without saying," Gundogan said. "I've been partly following it from here and to be honest, there's been no discussion in England yet.

"Perhaps that's because the English clubs are a bit financially stronger than the clubs in Germany at the moment, but the amateur clubs in particular won't have it easy and they already don't have it easy now, so of course it makes sense to talk about whether you address player salaries there.

"I don't know who has the final say in that decision. On the other hand, if a player says, 'no, I don't want that, I worked hard for it, I get my salary', then it can go in the opposite direction.

"For me personally, it would be okay but to be honest, you have to be tolerant and if there are players who are against that, then that's also an acceptable situation."
