Bartomeu’s ERTE shoots tension with the dressing room

Although some media such as Mundo Deportivo go over the announcement of ERTE by Barça and prioritize Coutinho on the cover, it is the news of the week and Sport assures that there is “tension” due to the salary cut.

Barça announced last Thursday that it was activating an ERTE that will reach all professional players, quarry players (and coaches) who charge more than 50,000 euros and ordinary employees, who represent less than four percent of expenses. .

The negotiation of the president, Jose Maria Bartomeu, with the players is pending before the presentation of the ERTE. But, as Sport summarizes on its cover, the “tension” between the parties exists.

FC Barcelona communicated through a statement issued after the meeting of its board of directors that it will initiate a Temporary Employment Regulation (ERTE) process both with its sports personnel (starting with the football team and affecting all professional sections) as well like non-sports staff. The club explained that “the need to implement measures to adapt to the contractual obligations of the Club staff to the new and transitory circumstances that we are experiencing lead us to present different files related to the sports area (soccer and other professional sports) as well as the rest from non-sports staff. ” But soccer, women's soccer and basketball professionals do not end up agreeing.
