Barcelona players may have to lower their salaries further

Last Monday, Barcelona players agreed to lower their salaries for as long as the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect football. By giving up up up to 70% of their salary they hoped to keep the club afloat, avoiding layoffs among non-sporting workers. But it was not enough.

According to the newspaper 'AS', the board of directors believes that the 14 million monthly salaries will not be enough to survive the strike.

Bayern or Juve have made more severe cuts, and this is the model to follow for some of Barcelona's directors. According to the source, Juve will save 90 million thanks to these cuts.

Barcelona has commissioned a study to see the different scenarios the club will face when all this happens, but it is not expected to be ready until May.

In the meantime, the board of directors is looking at the state of their economic revenue with concern. And, above all, how to negotiate a new cut with a staff that already reacted angrily the first time.
