Just paying people off doesn’t help them though? They have added aguero, depay, Garcia onto good money? They still need to shed over €200m a year wages to comply with the salary cap?

Its not actually hurting them

Umtiti is basically another Mendy. Completely fucked due to knee. Pjanic is crap.

Actually smart moves to pay off those two to reduce wage bill as it wont weaken them.

Pique also taking pay cut. So its significant salaries clear up already.

It is not a smart move. It is a desperate one.

Umtiti has injury issues, sure. Pjanic is definitely not crap. Plus only signed last year on a long term deal.

It is throwing away a good 60m in value, before they even pay them any compensation. So they could be 70-80m down with this move before they even get into feeling the benefit of the wage decrease. Which might not even make up for the wages of new players they've already signed, never mind messi's new deal. Plus, they will heed to find another midfielder and defender. And then the wages for them. It is a desperate effort, and feels more like a showboating one to make it look clear they are trying.

Are they trying to get him to just leave with no compensation ? To cancel a full 4 year deal and walk away with nothing ?
 
I read they offered Umtiti and Pajnic mutual termination and both refused. Umtiti wants to stay and prove him self and Pajnic is trying to sort out a transfer. Which you can’t blame him for, he might as well earn the money he’s contracted to while he’s looking for a club.

This is Barca’s problem, it’s easy on paper to say “get rid of these 6 players and reduce the wages of these players then we have a spare 100mill for messi”
But actually getting the players to all agree is a different story!
Footballers arnt daft, they arnt going to accept wage reductions and being asked to leave for half a contract just cause Barca said please.

Only have to look at Rodwell at Sunderland for an example of that.
 
Barcelona letting all the players go are they actually paying them of? Is that what that massive loan of 500m was for!?
