Throughout the summer market the FC Barcelonamore concretely Joan Laportahas been ‘fighting’ with Frenkie de Jong since the Catalan president saw the player’s departure as vital to enter a huge amount of money and also get rid of his huge file, which is increasing over the years. Finally, the Dutch midfielder ended up staying at the Camp Nou and it seems that the waters are returning to his course and his situation is beginning to calm down.
according to account Chain BE, De Jong would have reached an agreement with Laporta to sit down to renegotiate his salary at the end of this season in order to help the club’s finances and he is willing to lower it for the good of the Barça entity. Let us remember that his contract was signed by Josep MarÃa Bartomeu and, like everything the former Barça president did, he is being questioned and inspected for the money that has been wasted without any measure. The Dutch midfielder will earn 18 million euros this season, an amount that corresponds to his 14 kilos of payroll, plus the four million that he agreed to prorate several seasons ago to help the club’s economy. Now the Catalan team will try to severely cut these amounts since he is one of the highest paid players in the squad.
This figure is increasing
As we have already mentioned, the salary that was agreed Frenkie de Jong with Josep MarÃa Bartomeu it is increasing with the passing of the seasons and can stand at up to just over 27 million euros per season in a few years, this is what FC Barcelona wants to avoid at all costs, either by renegotiating with him, or selling it to avoid paying him that enormous amount that is totally unbalanced.
