Gerard Pique might agree to a pay cut, which would effectively result in him not being paid for the entire season.

Gerard Pique might agree to a pay cut, in which case he would essentially not be paid for the entire 2022–2023 campaign.

The Athletic reports that Pique has told Barcelona that he is willing to ‘dramatically reduce’ his salary in order to assist in the registration of their new summer signings.

It has been suggested that his reduction might be so severe that he will essentially not get paid for the upcoming season.

However, Pique would be paid during the 2023–24 season, which was the last year of his contract.

It’s not the first time he’s done it; he did it last season in order to help Barcelona sign Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay, and Eric Garcia.

The Catalan giants believe Pique’s gesture will enable them to sign important summer free agents Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha.

Jules Kounde won’t be available for the team’s La Liga debut because it’s known that his registration is contingent on salary cuts and squad sales.

Prior to playing Raya Vallecano on Saturday in their opening game of the season, Barca’s dire financial situation has persisted.
