Scissors to the salaries of the sacred cows of Barça

Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are the four sacred cows of the Barcelona Soccer Club that this week they have received the letter with which the club communicated the new contractual conditions with which they allow them to continue defending the elastic Blaugrana. The snip represents a salary reduction of the 40%, perceiving this next season only 60% of the emoluments that they had fixed. The cut will be paid deferred in the coming seasons, something that has also been communicated to them.

It was one of the most important and delicate steps that the Junta directive who commands Joan Laporta. The very high salaries of the sacred cows are today unaffordable in the new reality of the club, at least for the moment. Conforming to the new salary limit, adjusting to the financial fair play of the employer, is an obligation for the entity. The formulas are simple: reduction of staff spending and acceleration to the departures section, blocked for days.

It has been difficult to shape a logical and effective proposal for the heavyweights. El tijeretazo, published by The newspaper, is important for some players who have already made different efforts in this regard since the pandemic broke out in the face of the club in economic terms. To this day, Barça has not yet registered any of its new players on the LaLiga platform, nor Leo Messi, with whom its renewal has not yet been closed due to this reason.

The salary reduction to 60% of his file has not sat particularly well with the players, although according to the aforementioned media they would be predisposed to accept the conditions. 40% of the chip that is cut would not remain in the air, the Barça proposes to pay that percentage in future years with a contract extension. It remains to be seen how they execute it, because three of them are already in their thirties and one of them is close to 35 as Pique.

The football players they are predisposed to listen to the club. Josep Maria Orobitg, agent of Sergi Roberto Y Busquets, He has already appeared at the Barça offices to discuss the proposal, as he tells Sports world. Not much progress has been made there, there is no agreement, but the speed with which the matter is being dealt with is already a good sign. Haste is vital for the club at this time and if any of the operations is expedited it will be appreciated.

Apparently, George Alba It is one of the four sacred cows to which this contract reduction formula has felt the worst, the most reticent at the moment. Pique Yes it would be more for the work of accepting such conditions. The club sets a limit of two weeks to reach an agreement, leaving room for maneuver for another two in the final stretch of the market. It would be until August 15 the deadline set to unblock each and every one of the operations.

Each player has their details in their contracts and they do not have to accept all the same conditions, although it would be positively valued if this were the case so as not to generate problems in the dressing room that already surfaced in the past. In any case, it also remains to be seen how the League fits in with these Barça maneuvers, which aim to pay their players a salary even once they leave or retire.

It should be noted that some of these players also studied their outputs. Cases of Sergi Roberto O George Alba have been the most popular since they currently have a broader lineup than Pique O Busquets. The midfielder, by age, still has several years of his best football left. In the case of the left-handed winger, he has shown during this season and the European Championship that he is a more than interesting asset for any club.
