Radio Catalunya and Matteo Moretto both reported that he lowered his salary by 60% of the remainder of the contract, from 8M net to 3,2M net, Besiktas paying 2,75M of it ( Barca pays the remainder 0,45M net - 0,9 gross) this season, and if he returns he?s still gonna get 3,2M, so it?s gonna be easier to sell him next season. That?s a class act. Thanks Pjanic.

Wow. Classy act.

Good luck trying to get rid of him when threat of not playing football is not there.

So, we have two bad options, but one saves us money (like 3ME if initial reports are true). Not to mention that he has shown a willingness to play. Easy choice. If the reports about a 60% wage cut are true, and Besiktas pays most of his adjusted salary, then there's no problem at all.

Miralem Pjanic: “Ronald Koeman has disrespected me. He put a cross on me from the beginning. I wish he could say to my face what he wanted, but he never did. He is a very strange coach. It is the first time that I see a manager like this".

Shame a player once considered one of the best CMs in Europe became Barca's money laundering toy and thrown around and disrespected. Must have been hard for Pjanic to see B team midfielders who have shown nothing getting minutes ahead of him. Good on him he went to Besiktas and agreed to lower his salary to help us despite how shit we treated him.

That's not right. This kind of behavior shouldn't happen with anyone regardless of his role in the team. Very disrespectful.

We need to work on how we treat our players. This is about the dozenth player that has said to feel disrespected by the club. Moriba, Matheus, Pjanic, Emerson, Collado alone have all felt the need to speak to the media about how the club treated them since the preseason.

he got the niasse treatment

The club treats many of their players with disrespect and expects other players to respect them or lower their wages when they need, a class act from Pjanic but personally, I think most players may have opted to run their contract and still collect their massive pay check and I wouldn't blame them at all

Hmmp, that sounds weird, because usually, Koeman has voiced his opinion quite clearly, even publicly. In general, he doesn't seem to shy away from telling the truth.
