FC Barcelona captain Lionel Messi just recently announced that the players had accepted a huge 70 percent wage cuts.
Barcelona’s late reaction gave rise to the rumors that the players were unwilling to take pay cuts in order to get back at the board over their past actions.
But Luis Suarez has rejected any such rumors, he said: “A lot of hurtful things have been said about the squad’s salary cuts.”
“People have said that the players didn’t want to accept them. Then it was said that players from other areas of the club had reached an agreement when the reality is that we were waiting to try and find the best solution for the club.
“No player in the squad refused a wage cut. A mutual agreement was reached between the players and the club. The captains spoke to the president and nobody refused it.”
