Barcelona have 'parked' pay-cut negotiations for Sergi Busquets and Gerard Pique.

Sport says after the latest movements in the market and seeing the difficulty in reaching an agreement with both captains, the club has preferred to leave the possible adjustments on standby.

For weeks, the club had contemplated a significant reduction in the salaries of Piqué and Busquets, two of the highest earners in the current squad, as an effective measure to lighten the salary mass and thus face have more room to maneuver during the final stretch of the complicated summer transfer window.

The definitive registration of Jule Koundé and the moderate optimism regarding the transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and other players in the remainder of the market has allowed Barça to pull back from negotiations with Piqué and Busquets.
