Ronald Koeman believes other Barcelona veterans will follow Gerard Pique’s lead and take pay cuts to allow the club to register new signings or bring in another forward.
‘We all know the situation that the club finds itself in and it needs help in any way possible,’ the Barça coach said of Gerard Pique’s salary sacrifice to allow for the registration of the new signings.
‘Gerard [Pique], Sergio Roberto, [Jordi] Alba and Sergio Busquets have all been here for many years and they want to help and they have shown that. This is their club and that shows in this gesture.
Barcelona’s long-serving centre-back has taken a significant cut allowing them to register Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia.
But more sacrifices need to be made to register Sergio Aguero or further reinforce the team.
Koeman added on Friday that he had not given up on bringing in another forward.
