It is no longer a secret that Barca have financial problems. In order to be able to let new signing Sergio Agüero play, Jordi Alba now waives money.
With another wage waiver in the FC Barcelona squad, striker Sergio Agüero can now also be registered with LaLiga.
Left-back Jordi Alba should make it possible for Agüero to officially join the Catalans’ squad. According to Sport Alba will renounce 25 percent of his salary in the future.
The registration of the Argentine, who moved from Manchester City to Barca on a free transfer, is therefore no longer in the way and should take place in the coming days, like the radio station Catalunya Radio reported. Agüero will start playing in mid-October at the earliest. He is currently incapacitated by a tendon injury in his calf.
Barca: Pique started with a wage waiver
Defender Gerard Pique got the ball rolling and was the first Barca professional to forego part of his salary in order to help Barcelona in their unfortunate financial situation, which resulted in a lower salary cap.
At that time, Pique had already stated that Alba, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto would also be ready to take such a step in order to be able to register newcomers to strengthen the squad. These include striker Memphis Depay and center-back Eric Garcia.
However, all these efforts have not been enough to equip superstar Lionel Messi with a new contract. The Argentine finally said goodbye to PSG on a free transfer.
