Barcelona are reportedly ready to implement more pay cuts this summer in an attempt to reduce costs due to the club's current financial situation.
According to Marca, the Barcelona players agreed to take pay cuts last summer and could be preparing themselves to do the same ahead of next season to help the club deal with their current financial losses.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reportedly applied for a €500 million loan from Goldman Sachs, out of which €100 million will be paid to the club by the end of June.
Barcelona's reported losses for this season were said to be around €300 million, which would bring their total debt to a fee in the region of €1.2 billion.
