Superstar Lionel Messi (34) didn’t want to miss a cent for his supposedly great love. Quite different from four of his ex-teammates at FC Barcelona!
Defender Gerard Piqué (34) reports that he and three other players will whistle part of their salary in the future to help the financially troubled club. Accordingly, the leading players Sergio Busquets (33), Jordi Alba (32) and Sergi Roberto (29) should also be ready to cut their salaries.
According to the AP news agency, Piqué’s salary has already been cut so that national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen’s (29) club could register new players such as Memphis Depay (27) and Eric Garcia (20) under the rules of the Spanish league.
Pique after the 4-2 opening win against San Sebastian: “The other captains will soon do the same. Due to time constraints, I had to be the first so we could register the players. The captains always intended to make the adjustments the club needed. We are proud of this decision. ”
It was the first win for Barcelona since Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine had to leave FC Barcelona even though both sides wanted to continue working together. The statutes of the financial fair play of the Spanish league did not allow it. Barça has debts of around 1.2 billion euros.
