Barcelona owe Frenkie de Jong €16m in deferred salary, reports The Telegraph’s James Ducker.
This is the reason why his Manchester United move is currently on hold. The Catalans simply cannot pay him this money right now.
It is a question if Barca spend part of their revenue from triggering the second economic lever on this – or come up with some other way of payoff instead.
Frenkie de Jong’s earnings reportedly will rise a lot starting from this season – not just because of the deferred salary but also because of the bonuses set out in his contract.
The Dutchman will only stay at the club if he agrees on a significant pay cut, it is said.
