Barca owe Cruyff charity cash

Former Barcelona coach and captain Johan Cruyff is upset with Barcelona because he claims that they owe him £850,000 for his children’s charity.   The Johan Cruyff Foundation works with disadvantaged children.


Cruyff said that the foundation had called Barca every week and had got no response.  However, the cash strapped club has said that it will pay up by the end of the year.


Cruyff was outspoken in his criticism of Barcelona’s acceptance of a commercial shirt sponsor from Qatar, accusing the club of ‘selling out’.
