Barcelona president Joan Laporta is adamant the club’s new wage ceiling will not be breached.
Laporta has been very clear about the economic restrictions on the club will lead to players needing to agree to pay cuts.
The players can either accept this, or the club’s doors will open for them to leave. The players already know this, and Laporta has told them clearly, says Marca.
All of the playing staff know the situation, from Ronald Araujo and Gavi through to Ousmane Dembele and Gerard Pique and the new signings (Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, and others) are clear about Barcelona‘s financial situation and what it requires of them.
The players have been made aware of the position, which is why Laporta doesn’t understand certain complaints about comparisons between players who are just starting out at the highest level and those who are already established.
For example, Araujo doesn’t feel as though his salary matches his worth, taking into account the salary of signings such as Christensen, who will be paid six million euros a year.
Laporta and his board want the players to feel loved and valued, but they also want to keep hold of only those who really want to be at the Camp Nou.
“They [the salaries] will all be based on parameters that everyone understands,” Laporta explained. “I hope that they will adapt. It’s no problem if anybody doesn’t want to be here.”
