Things could well get worse between Frenkie de Jong and FC Barcelona. The club, which needs to sell, has been trying to part with him for several weeks but the midfielder seems determined to stay. A possibility that the Blaugrana would be ready to accept, but only if he agrees to lower his salary. However, that would not be the case. According ace, the player’s agent, Ali Dursun, categorically refused a pay cut from the international Oranje. While he currently earns €12m a year, de Jong would be offered a salary of between €7m and €9m. An offer that the former Ajax player has no intention of accepting.
Xavi has let the player know he’s counting on him but the managers can’t afford such a heavy burden in their finances and are still looking for a solution.
Leaving on loan?
According Sport, FC Barcelona would consider loaning de Jong this summer. While only Manchester United is ready to offer the sum requested by the Catalans, the Dutch refuses to sign with the English club which will not compete in the Champions League. Two other exit doors are then available to him and could please him: Chelsea and Bayern Munich. However, neither team wants to spend more than €80m on the player this summer and a loan could satisfy everyone. By this means, Barça would integrate a purchase option and could free up a big place in its payroll. It remains to be seen if the clubs ready to welcome him want to do so in this form and if the proposals will be able to convince de Jong.
