Barcelona meets with Busquets and Pique to explore the possibility of a pay cut

 According to the “World Sports News” report, after returning from the pre-season tour in the United States, Barcelona held a meeting with Busquets and Pique on Wednesday, local time, in view of La Liga’s economic leverage for Barcelona. Due to the uncertainty, the two players may need to take a pay cut to help the team complete the registration of new signings.

After training, Busquets stopped by Alemani’s office, where he also met Eust and Jordi Cruyff, all indicating that the meeting was discussing a possible pay cut. In early June, Mundo Deportivo pointed out that Barcelona will require the captain to make financial sacrifices in order to comply with La Liga’s financial fair play policy. But for Busquets, the pay cut is on “standby” and he will only make a decision after talking to his agent.

As for Pique’s situation, he had dinner at a restaurant in Barcelona with club president Laporta, vice-president Eustace and management staff Alemanni, accompanied by his agent Canales , the discussion during this dinner was also about whether Pique could take a pay cut.
