Fully aware of UEFA Financial Fair Play (FFP) implications during the Neymar transfer saga this summer, it has emerged that Barcelona players offered the club the option to delay some of their wages if it would help the club land their former team-mate.
Gerard Pique told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, ”We were ready to adjust our contracts.
”We weren’t going to contribute money, but we were going to make things easier by allowing some payments to be made in the second or third year instead of the first.
“We told Bartomeu, if it was necessary to delay payments in our contracts to meet FFP regulations and sign Neymar, we would do it.
