Barcelona agree €122m pay cuts as Blaugrana forced to slash salaries amid pandemic

Barcelona have reached an agreement with their playing squad to slash salaries by €122 million (£110m/$146m) over the next three years, the club has confirmed.

However, the Blaugrana will still pay out €50 million (£45m/$60m) per season during that period on wage packets.

The club has been forced to make cuts to their budget after La Liga imposed a lower salary cap upon them last week, as they look to stave off financial disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
