Barcelona are set to further reduce their wage bill in January

Barcelona have seen a total of 17 players exit their first team this summer. According to Sport, the club are set to reduce their wage bill further. That means potential exits could be on the horizon for some of their highest earners.

The most high-profile example is Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder is not a guaranteed starter at Barcelona and yet commands one of the highest salaries. 

The club also looked for a late exit for Jordi Alba on the last day of the summer transfer window without the players knowledge. The veteran left-back is struggling to hold onto a starting spot. Gerard Pique is also another player Barcelona would be happy to remove from their wage bill too.

Memphis Depay was actively looking for an exit, but was determined only to leave for the right offer. He ended up staying after a deal with Juventus collapsed. Even after the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Barcelona will seek an exit for the Dutch forward.

La Liga President Javier Tebas has said that Barcelona will have to drastically reduce their wage bill.
