"Barcelona players will not receive a salary in January," Carlos Tusquets, the team's acting President stated.
"Today, we are in a situation where we can not pay in January. We are a consultative body and do not have the authority to make decisions. I was not happy with the increase in debt and salary budget, but no one could have predicted the coronavirus. This situation worries us, but we have hope. Players will not receive their salaries in January. It was delayed in the same manner as other payments. For example, bonuses for winning tournaments," he said.
A few days ago, FC Barcelona announced that it had reached an agreement with the players to reduce salaries. It will save the club 122 million euros.
