Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman accepts a pay cut on his £10m-a-year salary, according to a report.

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has reportedly accepted a pay cut on his £10m-a-year salary.

The financial impact of the coronavirus impact has left the Catalan giants needing to slash their wage budget, and the likes of Gerard Pique and Frenkie de Jong have already accepted reduced salaries.

However, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann - two of the leading earners at the club - are allegedly yet to agree to the reduction.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Koeman and his staff have made it clear to interim president Carles Tusquets that they are prepared to accept the pay cut in order to help the club balance the books.

The report claims that the Barca boss is hopeful that his decision will lead to a number of players following suit, although the Dutchman will not make any outright demands to the first-team squad.

The La Liga giants have already booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League with two matches to spare but are struggling domestically, currently sitting down in 13th position in Spain's top flight.
