Barcelona wage dispute holds up De Jong exit
The Blaugrana are refusing to pay midfielder Frenkie de Jong the €17 million owned from his restructured contract.
The relationship between player and club is at the limit. De Jong would be entitled to the €17 million salary if he fulfills his contract, which he had altered to help Barca through their financial issues during the COVID-19 crisis. It runs until June 2026. However, given Barcelona’s attempts to sell him, the player’s camp believe he should get the unpaid wages now.
The Catalan giants reportedly have a transfer agreement in place with Manchester United, worth around €85 million, for De Jong. [Independent]
