Barcelona are continuing in their efforts to reduce their wage bill, and one of their vetetrans looks as if he will help them out.
German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was in inspired form last season, and was arguably the key factor in their La Liga win. With two years remaining on his deal, Barcelona are looking into a renewal for the current Germany number one.
According to Jijantes, ter Stegen’s agent met with Barcelona at their club offices on Tuesday to discuss said deal, and there was common ground on salary, with Barcelona proposing a reduced wage for one of their stars.

Ter Stegen became second in line to the captaincy at Barcelona with the departure of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, with only Sergi Roberto ahead of him. At 31 years of age, this could well be ter Stegen’s last major contract of his career, but it seems unlikely he would consider a move at any rate.
It has been noted since his arrival nine years ago how much of an effort ter Stegen has made to integrate into Catalan life, and now he is settled with his partner and young child Ben.

Paycut for what ??? Don’t tell me my club does not have money to pay him after winning the league, i think at this point the board is just selfish they didn’t care about the players too. Ter stegen worth increment in salary not reduction.. a lot of players have left the club already and there are space in the wage bill. Reason why I didn’t criticize Dembele when he decided to leave, because the moment a player flop for 2 seasons the club wont care selling him to Benfica in as much as they will earn their money but that isn’t the case when it comes to player, a club will believe you should be loyal to them when you are at your peak as a player, but they wont care about you when you flop.. I do not blame players that go for cash

how many times and how many players has to cut pay with new deals..I'm the true Barca fan from very young age but seeing the situations(Finance) at Barca it makes me so sad for the players to cut pay twice or thrice or even more the thrice..It is all because of the Barca fc Management Board failed to control and manage the clubs from the last president and his colleagues. And now for their stubbornness and so many debts players has to pay the price for them..See M.A Stergen is going to take a pay cut with a new deal and that if any another players gets a new deals they too have to cut their salaries..Players are tired of helping financially for the clubs even Pique,Sergio B, Jori etc did their best to help the Club before they are gone..For me, now Barca are the most Corrupted in modern football history as a fan it feels bad but in reality i have to say it..
