Sergio Busquets has agreed on wage deferral with Barcelona following on from veteran central defender Gerard Pique accepting a salary reduction with the club.
Experienced midfielder Busquets is out of contract at the Camp Nou in a year's time and while the length or value of his contract has not changed, he has agreed to defer payments to help ease the club's immediate outgoings. It comes as Barca race to register signings, piling the pressure on Frenkie de Jong to reduce his contract.
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 Busquets last week to persuade them to alter their contracts and both have now given their consent.
