Barcelona: Gerard Pique the only player who has agreed to take a pay cut

Haaland to Barcelona? Cash-strapped Catalans risk selling their soul to pay for superstar striker

They could, in theory - but at what cost?  As things stand, Barca are simply not in a position to make this deal happen. The Blaugrana are nearly €1.2 billion (£1.1bn/$1.5bn) in debt. Of even greater concern, though, is the fact that their short-term debt is approximately €500m (£425m/$590m) and must be repaid by June 30. Even accounting for further wage cuts, loan repayment deferrals to existing creditors, and the potential sale of unwanted players on massive salaries, Barca clearly need financial aid just to balance the books, let alone fund an expensive signing such as Haaland. Help may be at hand, though, from Goldman Sachs. The American multinational investment bank has already offered the Blaugrana a 30-year, €800m loan for the Espai Barca project, which includes the redevelopment of the club s training facilities, Camp Nou and its surrounding areas, offices and arenas.
