Major Blow as LaLiga Order Barcelona to Reduce Wage Bill by £28million

  Liga have ordered Barcelona to reduce their wage bill by £28million, SportsMail reports. Last November, the Catalan club was hit with a sizeable deduction, when it dropped by around £250million in the wake of the financial pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. LaLiga president, Javier Tebas, claimed at the time that salary cuts were necessary to bring down the “excessive spending”, as supporters are still unable to attend matches. But LaLiga have now ordered Barcelona to reduce their spending on wages even further. They have been asked to bring their budget down from €380m (£328m) to €347m (£300m), a reduction of nine per cent. The Catalan giants are in debt of over €1bn (£864m) and player wages accounted for around 61% of the club’s £940m income before th...

Barcelona Players Set For €122 Million Salary Cut

Barcelona were close to securing an agreement on Friday for a 122 million euros ($145 million) cut in players’ salaries this season to help offset the financial hole left by the coronavirus pandemic. The deal, announced in a statement by the club, must now be ratified by the players “in the coming days”.
