Gerard Pique to take second Barcelona pay cut in desperate attempt to register players
As the financially strapped club rushes to sign their summer acquisitions prior to the start of the new La Liga season, Gerard Pique is expected to accept a second salary cut from Barcelona.

On Saturday night, Barca faces Rayo Vallecano to open their season, although a number of important players, including as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Jules Kounde, may be absent. Due to La Liga-imposed salary caps, the Catalan giants have yet to register several of their newcomers.

It was revealed last week that Barcelona had discussed potential wage reductions with senior players in order to register new recruits.

Pique is reportedly willing to take another pay reduction, his second after doing so for the first time last summer, in order to help The Athletic reach their financial goals.

It is thought that his new contract will have shorter terms but the same duration as his existing one—until 2024. That might not be sufficient for them to register their summer signings, though.

The 26-time La Liga champions have been informed by league officials that they must use a fourth "lever" to relieve their financial hardship, which might include selling off up to 50% of Barcelona studios.

Barcelona chief Joan Laporta last week revealed that the club have until the day of the game – August 13 – to sort their finances out and officially register their summer signings.

“We are doing everything possible to register the signings. We have to do it before August 13,” he said, before adding that he feels “optimistic” of the situation.
