Barca’s urgency to sell players increases - report

Barcelona are only two weeks away from starting pre-season. Just to emphasize that despite Euro 2020 and Copa America 2021 having just started, the domestic pre-season is set to begin on July 9. Time flies and as a result, some may have forgotten that Barcelona are still desperate to offload players.

The urgency has heightened since the key to everything, one Lionel Messi, has yet to put pen to paper. The reports coming out of Spain seem to signify that Barca have indeed asked him to take a pay cut. The asks of a salary decrease have also gone out to players of the likes of Sergi Roberto, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
