A host of Barcelona players have been left furious by comments from club president Joan Laporta and his request for them to drop their wages at Camp Nou, according to reports in Spain.
The Catalan giants have amassed severe financial worries over the last few seasons, with those problems contributing to the departure of club icon Lionel Messi in the summer of 2021.
That theme continued this summer, when Barca struggled to register their arrivals due to their bloated wage bill. The likes of Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski and Hector Bellerin saw their starts to life with their new club delayed.
