Players on French clubs are all on temporary layoffs. That means a small cut in pay of 16 percent and the state picks up a portion of the rest.
Players at clubs in other countries have taken large pay cuts amid the uncertainty.
PSG's squad includes world-class players Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani.
Al-Khelaifi says "our wage bill is of substantial volume" and "we risk suffering colossal losses" at the end of the season.
