Barca veterans 'refuse to take further pay cuts' for 2 key reasons

Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba will not accept further pay cuts, reports Diario Sport.

Firstly, they have already agreed on lowering their salary twice. Secondly, they believe that it's other players' turn to take wage cuts.

Busquets and Alba remain the team's top earners, as per Capology. Pique is only 7th on the list but he is reportedly going to earn around €80m in the next two years; what's more, he doesn't plan to retire this year.

Earlier, it was reported that Barcelona would consider cutting almost every player's salary by half.
