In order to support the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Lionel Messi has announced that he and the other members of the FC Barcelona soccer team have made the decision to reduce wages by 70 percent. In addition, the forward announced that they will give another series of supports so that the club's employees receive their full salary.
"The time has come to announce that, apart from the reduction of 70% of our salary during the State of Alarm," Messi mentioned in a statement he released on his Instagram account. "We will also make contributions so that the club's employees can collect 100% of their salary while this situation lasts."
The player born in Santa Fe, Argentina, earns 8.3 million euros gross per month, according to what was announced last February by the French media L'Équipe. He warned that for a long time they wanted to apply these measures to cut their wages, but they were "looking for a formula to help the club and also its workers in these difficult times."
"Our will has always been to discuss a decrease in the salary we receive, because we fully understand that this is an exceptional situation and we are the first to have always helped the club when asked to do so," he added. “Therefore, it does not cease to surprise us that from within the club there were those who tried to put us under the magnifying glass and tried to add to us the pressure of the lake that we always knew we would do.
Lionel Messi, who in addition to Argentine nationality also has Spanish, concluded with a message of support and hope.
"A lot of strength to all the culers who are having a hard time in these very difficult times, as well as to all those who patiently wait for the end of this crisis in their homes," he said. “Very soon we are going to get out of this and we will all do it together.
