Messi demonstrates players income chipped

On Monday, speaking on behalf of the entire Barcelona first team squad, Leo Messi has confirmed the consent of a 70% compensation cut to the first team salaries.

Messi stirred the proclamation via his social media chronicles, while he took a swipe at ” beings” at Barcelona who had attempted to ramp up pressure on the players in recent days.

Messi’s testimony said 😛 TAGEND

We want to clarify that our desire has always been for a reduction to be applied to our stipends because we understand that this is an exceptional situation and we are the first that have ALWAYS facilitated the organization with what they have asked of us.

Many times we have even done things on our own accord, at minutes when we felt it necessary or important to do so.

For that reason, it doesn’t cease to surprise us that from inside the club there would be parties who wish to framed us under a magnifying glass or try to pressure us into something that we were always clear we wanted to do.

Barcelona President Josep Bartomeu attempts to smooth things over

Was Messi taking aim at Barcelona President Josep Bartomeu?

On Tuesday, Spanish paper Sport have spoken to Bartomeu to get his take on the Barcelona wage cuts.

Bartomeu made special care to state that Messi was always keen on agreeing to the salary reductions. He said 😛 TAGEND

Messi told me from day one that this reduction had to be made.

This proposal came from the captains. It is a gesture that express their commitment to the club.

Perhaps[ the players] have been forestalled by things said by people inside and outside the club, who do not have all the information.

But the negotiations were be put into practice merely by Oscar Grau and me and we have not said anything.

@sport | thank you
