Barcelona have confirmed the club has been able to register new signings Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia as well as striker Rey Manaj after center-back Gerard Pique agreed to take a substantial pay-cut.
The news means that the players will be able to feature in Sunday’s opening La Liga match against Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou which will be a big boost to manager Ronald Koeman.
Barcelona also added that contract negotations continue with Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba who could follow Pique’s lead and accept further pay-cuts.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
