Barcelona –
Barcelona facing a precarious financial situation. Barcelona must cut the salaries of its players again or face the threat of bankruptcy in January 2021.
Since two weeks ago Blaugrana indeed had planned to cut the salary of Lionel Messi et al by 30 percent. However, the Barca squad raised objections by sending a burofax to former club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
However, Barcelona continued to persuade their players to agree to the policy. RAC1 Now reports, negotiations for cutting wages began on Friday (10/30/2020), with a meeting between the players’ lawyers and the club.
Now Barcelona must race against time. Barca must be able to reduce the player’s salary expenditure which reaches 190 million euros (around Rp. 3.2 trillion) by 5 November, or risk being declared bankrupt in January next year.
It was also mentioned, one of the most worrying situations concerns Lionel Messi. If in the end Messi doesn’t want to extend his contract, Barcelona must pay a bonus to the superstar for completing his contract.
Salary cuts must be done Barcelona because club income has plummeted due to the corona virus pandemic. Barcelona’s official shops and museums lost revenue and also the prize money from the Champions League was deducted.
Carles Tusquets, who temporarily replaced Bartomeu after stepping down as club president, has explained Barca’s economic difficulties. “Our main concern is the club’s finances,” he said.
“This pandemic is hitting Barcelona hardly. The club is dependent on tourism, and now all that income is gone, the situation is very uncomfortable, and we have to take the ideas of the old management to find solutions to the problems we are facing. “
