Spanish La Liga News :: Barcelona: Lionel Messi announces players will take 70% pay cut

Posted on 2020-03-30 by Gooner

Barcelona players will take a 70% pay cut during the coronavirus pandemic and make additional contributions to ensure non-sporting staff receive full wages.

Captain Lionel Messi said the move was delayed as the players were "looking for a formula to help the club".

Spain's national death toll now stands at 7,340, making it the worst-affected country in the world behind Italy.

Barcelona's board of directors, members of its professional sports teams and most of the basketball team have also agreed to reduce their salaries.
