However, the proposed wage cut is likely to receive negative feedback from the players. However, the club has little choice but to implement such measures if it wants to remain within its salary limits for the next season. Not only that, but the club will also offer Messi reduced wages and might compensate the World Cup winner with a share of the club’s ticket sales if he decides to re-sign.
The financial difficulties are not the only problem facing the club. Barcelona is also facing corruption charges in the “Negreira case.” Barcelona has been accused of giving payments to José María Enríquez Negreira, vice-president of the referee committee in Spain.
