Barcelona are still in talks with Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba as the club tries desperately to reduce the wage bill ahead of the start of the new La Liga season.
The Catalan giants are hoping the trio will agree to salary reductions that would help the club register their new signings in time for Sunday’s opener against Real Sociedad.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the club “continues to believe” that Ronald Koeman will be able to have the players available for the match.
The report also states that Barca had set today as their deadline.
