Barcelona are staring at a tense week ahead as they face a race against time to register the new players before their season opener against Rayo Vallecano.

The club have been unable to register any of the new signings so far due to their inflated wage bill. In an attempt to balance the books, the Catalans are looking to offer renewed terms to some of the existing stars involving a pay cut.

Frenkie de Jong is one of the players in contention to take a pay cut as Barça have already stepped up their quest to convince the midfielder to lower his wages.

However, after denying to leave Barcelona in the summer and refusing to accept a wage cut, it appears the Dutchman’s relationship with the fans has hit rock bottom. It was evident earlier today when the player was insulted while he was on his way to Ciutat Esportiva.

As revealed in a video posted by Diario SPORT, a number of Barcelona fans urged him to “take a salary cut”, amid Barça’s growing issues regarding the wage bill.

Earlier in the summer, the Catalans were keen on offloading de Jong in order to generate a significant transfer revenue. But there has been a change of stance lately, with the midfielder likely to remain at Camp Nou beyond the summer.

With a few days remaining until the start of the new season, Barcelona are hoping de Jong will agree to a pay cut that will help the club register the new signings.

However, de Jong and Barcelona are not exactly on good terms, and it will be interesting to see how things transpire in the coming days.
