Neville was slammed by former Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas for the post, with the Sky Sports pundit accused of not knowing what he was talking about. Crosas, who featured four times for Barca and played for them in the Champions League, said in response: “You have no idea what you [are] talking about.
“Barca spending fortunes on new players has nothing to do with salaries and salary cap. He has the right to leave, stay with the same contract, reduce it, or say NO to Man Utd. Maybe that’s what really hurts you and not Barca’s immorality.”
In a further tweet, Crosas added: “Nobody is ‘refusing to pay’. Barca is trying to renegotiate his contract the same way they did with Pique, Busquets, Ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto… Nobody complained at the time.”
