Barcelona players have announced a pay cut of 70 percent during the epidemic of the Corona virus infection. However, 'non-sporting staff' has said that the players will contribute to pay 100 per cent salary.

Captain Lionel Messi said it was too late to make a decision on how to help the club. Maurizio Sarri, the player and coach of Juventus, agreed to pay his four-month salary last week.

In Spain, there are now 7340 deaths. Spain is the most affected country after Italy. Players from the German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also agreed to cut salaries.

In a statement, Barcelona forward Messi said, "We are in an extraordinary situation now. We are well aware of this and so we have always been willing to cut our salaries. We players are always ready to help the club. Some inside the club tried to pressure us. But we were always ready for this. We were silent now for a suitable solution to the problem. "

Barcelona officials and members of the basketball team have also agreed to pay cuts.
