So much so that the salary reduction that was applied to all the professional players of the club will be insufficient in the face of what is coming and the economic management is now working to reach agreements with the footballers and other athletes so that they can reduce their emoluments in the long term as well, already thinking about the next season, with the aim of reducing the annual income forecast by a quarter.
In this regard, the departure of high salaries such as those of Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal or Philippe Coutinho would not enable the Brazilian to return, even recovering his old record – which would already imply a notable reduction with respect to what he charges at PSG. Barcelona’s objective is to reduce salaries in order to reduce the budget. But it is not only that.
Because, in addition, if income falls, neither can projections sign with record numbers and the arrival of Neymar, even with FIFA setting its transfer price by virtue of the fact of completing three seasons without signing any contract with its current club, it is estimated at no less than 150 million euros, the same as Philippe Coutinho, the most expensive player in the history of Barcelona, cost. It is obvious to think that this kind of disbursements cannot be made in the current situation and the club assumes that the moment of Neymar in Barça has already passed.
