Gerard Pique reportedly offered to play for Barcelona for free before accepting a salary reduction amid the club's current contract standoff with Frenkie de Jong.
The Catalan giants have been unable to register their five new signings and two contract renewals this summer with La Liga and have been told to reduce their financial outgoings. Meetings were held with Pique and Sergio Busquets last week to persuade them to reduce their salaries.
Busquets has agreed on wage deferral with Barca, which means that he will accept a reduction in his immediate payments, but that his owed wages would later be repaid to him over the course of his contract, which may be extended beyond next summer.
