In the Barça squad they want the player to stay but his salary is the main drawback
The Dutch midfielder Frankie de Jong is perhaps the only crack of the FC Barcelona that laporta wants to continue seeing there, but at the same time works to give it an outlet. And it is that the president Culé is aware that the midfielder cannot lower his salary any more, even if his desire is to continue wearing the colors of the Catalan club.
In more textual words, the Catalan president express. “We want him to stay, he is a high-quality player and I know he wants to stay. However, we cannot force you into a pay cut, It’s your decision.” The 25-year-old footballer was offered a salary of 4 kilos net a year, but of course his agent turned down the offer.
“The most viable way out for FC Barcelona is for Frenkie de Jong to leave on loan” Joan Laporta
The president is aware that in 2019 they signed a crack, which to this day has shown that the 86 kilos they paid for him were worth it. However, this last season his performance was not the same and his price decreased by 25 million euros. However, his salary was left intact and that is something that collides with the new salary policy that Laporta wants to implement.
In Barcelona they do not want to lose the midfielder, but they do want to free themselves from their high salary, even if it is for a season. For this reason, the most viable and intelligent way out that they can propose is an assignment without a purchase option. Due to the level of the Dutchman, his poster is quite broad and several giants of the continent would be interested in including him in their respective squads.
From Germany and Italy they are looking for Frenkie de Jong and Laporta makes the preparations
After the same player ruled out the option of playing for Manchester United, two new offers have arrived at Barcelona’s offices. One is from Bayern Munich and the other from Juventus. Two teams where the potential of the Dutch midfielder would tend to be at the top again.
The midfielder’s response is the same, he doesn’t want to leave the Culé club because he feels very comfortable in Xavi’s squad, but deep down his reason also has to do with salary. If the German or Italian team is willing to pay the token he receives at Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong could be reconsidering his temporary departure from the Camp Nou.
