Disappointed with the attitude. Frankie de Jong (Reuters)
Barcelona’s next problem? Frankie de Jong has been named as the key player the Catalans will try to sell this summer because he has the biggest market value among the players willing to give up due to the economic situation, but it’s really not easy – and not because of Manchester United wanting him. The clubs have already reached a conclusion for 65 million euros and another 20 million in variables, but a debt that Barça have for the Dutch midfielder complicates everything.
As part of the changes in the players’ contracts during the Corona period, de Jong agreed to defer part of the salary agreed upon in advance – an amount that Barça will now have to pay him. It is about 16 million euros that come into contact, and the postponement of the salary from the time of Joseph Maria Bartomeu as president, now complicates Barça and Joan Laporta, which only contributes further to the desire to sell him, even if formally the current president claims there is no desire to do so. Naturally, United do not intend to cover this debt as part of the transfer fee and neither is De Jong himself willing to give it up.
According to reports, the Dutchman wants to stay at Barcelona and refuses to cut salaries – something Laporta said Sde Jong will have to do if he finally stays at Barça to get by with the salary cap in the Spanish league. as per Huis CanotA journalist close to Ronald Koeman, de Jong is hurt by the way Barça’s conduct and the way they are trying to push him out: “Recently he bought a house and will not leave Barcelona, especially not for a club that does not play in the Champions League next season (Manchester United). He is very disappointed with the attitude. Of the club towards him. “
What could help Barça solve the problem is the second financial deal the club is currently working on – the sale of broadcasting rights. It is estimated that this will bring the Catalans around 300-400 million euros, and it will also allow Barça to sign players in a 1: 1 ratio to the amounts it sells (currently it can only sign a third of the revenue from sales), and also pay compensation to players who still have contracts and not Are supposed to be part of Xavi’s staff. These are not only De Jong, but also Ricky Pouch, Martin Breitweit, Oscar Mingsa, Samuel Omititi, Kalman Langela, Miralem Pjanic, Peknesisco Trinkau, Musa Waga and Neto.
