It is reported that the contract of "Robert" contains a salary increase clause, his salary will soar to 5.2 million pounds (about 520 million Hong Kong dollars) next year, which aroused the great concern of Barcelona, who are actively seeking to prevent this clause from taking effect, in order to send the veteran away as soon as possible.
