Barcelona has been through tough times both on and off the field. Although the appointment of Ronald Koeman as manager has improved the on-field issues, the off-field issues still remain.
There has already been a successful motion of no confidence against club president Bartomeu and on the other hand, the players are unwilling to take a further pay cut.
In the meantime, Barcelona has somehow managed to sign contract renewals with 4 Barcelona stars: Gerard Pique, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet and Frenkie De Jong.
