Barcelona players reject wage cut amid coronavirus crisis

The report outlines how the club captains are negotiating with the board of directors and whilst there is said to be openness to a compromise, the players are unhappy with the current proposals being offered.

The wage cut will be applicable to all senior teams at the club, including the women’s football team and the men’s basketball side.

However, the report underlines how the focus is on the men’s senior football team whose combined wage bill is over €500m and is said to be the highest of any professional sports club in the world.

If there is no agreement, the Barcelona board could enforce a pay cut upon its employees.
