Memphis Depay is set to earn 30 per cent less at Barcelona than was initially agreed, Goal has learned, with the Liga giants needing to cut costs in order to operate under a salary cap.
The Netherlands international forward is among those to have made a move to Camp Nou this summer, along with Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia and Emerson Royal.
Deals are, however, yet to be officially completed as the Blaugrana need to free up funds in order to get fresh faces on board and keep their books balanced.
The 27-year-old Dutchman had seen a switch to Barca mooted for some time, with an opportunity opening up when his contract ended at Lyon.
Depay has made no secret that joining Barcelona is a dream come true, with the presence of Ronald Koeman in the dugout a welcome bonus.
An offer worth €7 million-a-year was initially put to the frontman, with a number of performance-related variables included. However, it is now understood that a modified proposal is being put in place with Depay, as Barca are unable to offer any more than €5m to their new recruit.
That figure represents a 30 per cent pay cut for Depay, but he is happy to help out financially wherever he can.
A move to Barca would have been impossible had a fee been required, and he will do everything in his power to remove any further obstacles from his path. (Goal)
