Bartomeu asks for another cut to his squad

At the end of March, the top Barcelona players agreed to lower their salary by seventy percent (5.75% of the salary bill), as well as helping employees most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. In this way, the club would save about 14 million euros. However, this amount has been growing as the Alarm State has been extended.

There is still a week without football in the Santander League and the economic damage that all the teams have suffered is irreparable, although they are all looking for ways to try to make the impact as little as possible. And from the program Tot coast of Catalunya Radio ensure that Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu would have asked the staff for an extra effort to accept another salary cut as long as the entity's accounts are not too low.

According to the media, Barcelona says that “there is no news they do not talk about those topics”, although they say that The President took advantage of the visit on Saturday 23 May to the squad during training to ask them for this new cut, which would save about ten million euros more. He did it accompanied by the sports director, Oscar Grau, and of Albert Soler. Apparently, they still don't have a response from the players, and it wouldn't be the last time that the president asks them for help.

It is obvious that the coffers of Barça, or of any other team in the world, are going to be very touched by the break, either because they cannot sell tickets or because of the many other consequences that this entails. It remains to be seen if the template supports the new cut proposal.
