Barcelona players will take a 70% pay cut during the coronavirus pandemic and make additional contributions to ensure non-sporting staff receive full wages.

Captain, Lionel Messi said the move was delayed as the players were "looking for a formula to help the club".

Juventus players and manager Maurizio Sarri agreed to freeze their pay for four months at the weekend.
