It is to no longer include anything in it. Since the opening of the transfer window, Barça has spent (almost) without counting. Indeed, in recent weeks, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Pablo Torre, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Jules Koundé have come to settle in Catalonia. Substantial investments made by management, which at the same time activated various levers to develop finances (including the sale of a share of TV rights). But now, while the team is struggling to sell its players, it is trying to save money, especially on the payroll.
A pay cut?
With this in mind, a meeting was held today with two of the captains, Gérard Piqué and Sergio Busquets. And according to information from journalist Gérard Romero, Joan Laporta asked them to lower their salaries for this new exercise, and thus help the club financially. Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany were also present. For the moment, nothing has filtered as to the reaction of the main interested parties. In the past, the club had already asked certain executives to accept a pay cut, especially during the Covid-19 crisis.
