I won't blame the players if they refuse to take the pay cut asked by the club.
It should be probably done through negotiation between player's association and Liga, or FIFA and FIFPro.

So far it seems that all the pay cuts done by other clubs (Dortmund, Bayern, Espanyol, Athletic Bilbao etc.) were done directly between the club and its players.

100% agree. People are dying and while 90% of them are millionaires who won't even feel that cut they are refusing it. They are doing all of that in a the situation where they are sitting in their home doing absolutely nothing. World will change after this and they will earn far less for sure. I honestly can't wait for that. It's about time to put more money in medicine or education or nature preservation than in idiots like Neymar or Dembele. In times like this you can clearly see where our priorities lie but we easily tend to forget that. A vast majority of footballers are selfish pricks who are being massively overpaid and that's a fact.

There was even an understanding with the Juve first team too

This is beyond embarrassing and fked up for this club.
What's taking the club so long to make a statement like this?

To be fair, this will never happen due to capitalism being the prevalent system in majority of the world. These players are getting paid millions because society puts a lot of worth in them. That's how capitalism works. People don't pay 50-100 euros to watch a doctor do surgery.
Also, this is absolutely embarrassing from the club office and the players. Why is it taking so long to release a statement? If not 70 %, make it 40 %. Still a big chunk of money for the low wage workers of Barcelona.

We actually had a statement already with regard to the pay cut, out yesterday.
However, to me it seems that it was more of a statement by the club showing their decision and resolve to cut the wages due to the special circumstances and no real and concrete agreement on how much the cut will be. That is the problem.
They are probably still negotiating. 70% for sure is off the table, we would be lucky to get a 50% cut on the first team's wages. A 20% to 30% cut is probably more plausible and likely.

This shows what Barcelona has begun. All about money.
very selfish from the players if they dont want to take a pay cut to help. there's literally a crisis going on around the world and you have these players making millions a month and wont even take a pay cut to help the club.
funny thing is that these same players were willing to take a pay cut for Neymar. lol. you know its bad when the biggest problem is the players and not the board.

honestly I dont understand why 70% is considered to be too much. yeah for an average person who doesnt make hundreds of thousands a week, it is too much. but players like Messi, Suarez, Pique etc. who make millions in just one month, its nothing. it wont make much of a difference for them. they should take 70% off of the highest paid players/workers and the rest of the lower paid workers 20-40%.
