21 - Frenkie de Jong

[jamrock]

With his injury being somewhat serious, he and Gavi may be back around the same time,so he won't have a few months of game time to establish himself in the starting XI.

This is the last year for him, I'm tired of the excuses, as of he's 20 years old,Finally put up or leave.

It is but isn't, De jong salary includes Deferred wages, and lewa contract was back loaded when he signed to help us register him and reportedly he left some of his signing on bonus on the table to get it back towards the end.

Back loading is pretty standard in American sport these days, in order to go around the salary Cap.

It sucks when the player is 36 though.

De jong is probably on around 18m gross, give or take a few million, which is still too much.

On our part yes, but with the rezidual payments included at least for FDJ, on their part just the regular castilian delusions.
Mbappe is earning much more. How much more is debatable. Messi earned only 34 before the leaks but here we are talking about bonuses for taking a shit, getting the dog out, stamping a contract and percentages of image rights.

Back to us, that's why I was against Xavi, beside being a deluded narcissist, he and Laporta did the exact opposite of what they said. Spent big, raised the salary cap while Xavi is X2 UEL and grinding results like he had the team of Koeman somehow getting credit for that.

The real price of Mbappé

The French star remains the highest-paid player in Europe

This mofo is high key trying to fuck us over.

Barcelona midfield talisman continues to ignore club’s attempts to renew his contract

FC Barcelona’s relationship with Frenkie de Jong has wavered considerably over the years. At the heart of all the rising tensions has been one determining factor: finances. In 2022, the Catalan giants were eager to offload the Dutchman in a bid to free up salary margin and generate some...

The remnants of bad financial plays.

De Jong got his red panty night and won't give it up. Not until his wife's/girlfriends credit card bills are paid atleast.

 

[jamrock]

Practically I understand him not wanting leave his money on the table, much like lenglet and a few others, as you said remnants of a terrible decision by we all know who.

But dude just renegotiate your contract or come to some form of settlement and get transferred out, waiting to leave on a free is a dick move, but really he has all the leverage and his constant injuries isn't making it much easier.

dis tru ?

No.
Frenkie 37M is just bad reporting. It is his salary cap hit, not his salary. That is his wage + deffered wage + amortization.
Mbappe is his base salary, it ignores his bonuses (counted on salary cap in most cases) and his signing bonus. His salary cap hit will be twice of Frenkie.

Cant believe so much people hating on this lad here, summer in summer out, transfer window in and out. One thing that always crosses my mind is that when messi was still here he always looked for fdj when he got no space to attack. Let that sink in

 

[wisconsincule]

I will hate him if he leaves for free.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

I will hate him if he leaves for free.

Just leave. Free or 70m.
We don't care

Get out of this team and take Ter with you

 

[khaled_a_d]

I will hate him if he leaves for free.

Even if it happens, it will be a massive financial relief tbh.
With that said, I feel he might decide to leave next summer.
He will be coming from a serious ankle injury at 28, another injury like that can destroy his value even as free agent.
His amortization and deferred wage will be much lower, that even a 25M offer will cover both and be profitable for us, never mind saving his normal salary. And he can negotiate a good deal for himself.
With that said, there might be a bad blood between board and him that might make things play differently
