Barcelona sporting director Mateu Alemany spoke about the club’s wage bill during a press conference on Thursday with president Joan Laporta.
The Catalans have had to reduce the wage bill this season and have done so by offloading several players in recent transfer windows.
Alemany highlighted just how much the departures of two players in particular have helped trim costs when it comes to salaries.
“The (freed) wages of Griezmann and Pique, who were under contract next year, mean 90 million less in squad costs for us. We reduce that amount of wage bill with two players,” he said.
