"It's better to do things face to face": Busquets on rumored wage cut
The legendary midfielder spoke on the rumours that Barcelona will be asking him to reduce his wages once again
It's no secret that FC Barcelona are going through some hard times economically. From being unable to register new signings to having to release the best player of all time simply because they couldn't keep it in their books, it's frugal times for the Blaugranas.
