Barcelona have confirmed that their representatives and players have come to an agreement in principle for salary adjustments that will save the club over €122 million.
The current pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the Spanish club’s finances this year, with recent financial reports stating that Barcelona lost €203 million in revenue due to measures that they were forced to put into place due to COVID.
This led to losses of €97 million for the last financial year and confirmation that the club would have to ask its playing staff to take significant cuts to address the drop in revenue.
