Barcelona could temporarily reduce the salaries of first team players to counteract the economic effects of COVID-19.

Players are aware of the potential decision, which will be made in a meeting next week.

The average salary of a Barcelona player is $11.8 million per season.

Barcelona have yet to consider laying off staff.

"It is vital for Barcelona's financial stability. Other clubs that have already done their job but Barca must keep fighting for the La Liga title and for continuing to advance in the Champions League," club sources told ESPN.
