Jordi Alba has reached an agreement with Barcelona on a 25 percent reduction in his salary, among other things RAC1 report on Monday. In addition, agreements have reportedly been made about the later payment of his salary, it sounds from Spain. The 32-year-old left back is under contract with Barcelona until mid-2024. For a long time it appeared that Alba would not agree to Barcelona’s proposal to cut his annual salary at the Camp Nou.

Alba was recently the target of flute concerts in the Camp Nou in Barcelona’s home game with Real Sociedad (4-2). All this had to do with the reports that the 32-year-old fullback would be obstructive in the negotiations about a wage sacrifice. After the first league match, Alba sought out the media at his own request and settled there with a ‘lie’. “Before the European Championship, there was already news about me. Now I haven’t heard anything for two weeks or a month. I want to help the club in some way.” ASH up from the mouth of Alba.

“That’s the reason I’m getting up now to say something about it. It would be nice if you also ask the president (Joan Laporta, ed.), I assume that he will tell the truth,” Alba continued his story. “It hurts me that lies are being told. I gave a lot for Barcelona and can’t control what people think. Annoying things have come out, that’s why I’m talking about it now. I am someone who always tells the truth. I’m tired of all those lies. But it hurts my family even more, because they hear things that are not nice. My representatives and lawyers are in talks with the club. My wish is to help the club.”

After Gerard Pique, Alba is the second player in Ronald Koeman’s selection to accept a salary cut. Piqué’s gesture allowed Memphis Depay and Eric García to be entered. He responded to the flute concerts towards Alba after Sociedad home. “Sometimes misunderstandings arise. I have been in contact with the other three captains (Alba, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto, ed.) and we have agreed to a salary cut. It has yet to be made official. I know that sometimes people read things that aren’t quite true.” Spanish journalist Gerard Romero confirmed on Monday that there will be talks with Busquets and Sergi Roberto this week. Contract extensions will also be discussed with the latter. The right-back’s contract expires next summer.
