"Barcelona" players changed their minds: refuse to reduce salaries © JumpStory

"Barcelona" team - mood swings. At the beginning of this week, it was announced that "La Liga" club players agreed to reduce their salaries during the coronavirus crisis, but now the publication AS informs about the footballers changing their minds. According to the press, "Barcelona" considered applying the ERTE rule, where in special cases, athletes are not paid 70% of their salary when matches are not held. Trying to find a compromise, team president Josep Bartomeu was determined not to reduce the athletes' earnings drastically and proposed a 50% reduction in wages. However, this proposal was also rejected. It is reported that "Barcelona" may have no other choice but to apply the ERTE rule, despite players' protests - some board members are considering this scenario in order to reduce the financial losses caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
