There is one thing that Barcelona is constantly dealing with – the economic situation. The Catalans are in a very problematic situation and they also managed to register the new acquisition Fran Torres only after they got rid of Filippa Coutinho who left Steven Gerard’s Aston Villa and in the Spanish media and the Catalans continue to deal with the replica salary of the stars who stick the club.
One such is Gerard Pique. Journalist Joyce Canott reported on the TV show “Onze” that Barça’s captains did not agree to a cut in their salaries, even though they claimed so, and that the brakeman earns eight million euros a year. It, on the other hand, reacted in its characteristic way: with a tweet of the real wage it earns.
Pique published the first of two beats he received, which amounts to 2,328,884 euros, which means that he has cut about 50 percent of his salary. “Some people use public television to protect their friends. Here’s 50 percent of my salary, which I received in December. Respect yourselves,” he added. Barcelona also responded to the allegations: “We consider this publication to be inappropriate and unprofessional and one that harms the players. Pique, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have given up a large part of their salaries.”
Characters like this charging for public television to defend their friends. Here are 50% of my payroll earned on December 30th. Respect yourself a little. https://t.co/luHsMMqJD8 pic.twitter.com/l4IAtqvexU

Meanwhile, Barcelona are preparing for the league game against Granada, which may return them to the top 4 of the Spanish league. Abda returned to training after recovering from Corona and Xavi confirmed that Memphis Defay will also be part of the Catalan squad for the important game.
“We are working to compete for titles. I have reached a non-ideal situation for the club and the team and I want to think we are on the right track,” he said. Xavi “There are a lot of inquiries in football, but I’m optimistic when I see what’s going on in our locker room.”
