Memphis Depay has accepted a major cut on his new Barcelona salary in order to fit into a LaLiga wage cap.

A deal worth £6million - with added performance based bonuses - was initially presented to the striker.

However, given the financial difficulty at the club, Barcelona are now unable to offer more than £5m.

Goal says Depay is happy to take the pay cut to help his new side out amid the financial turmoil at the club.

The LaLiga giants have also taken other measures to reduce their wage bill ahead of next season.
