Barcelona Gives Options To Frenkie De Jong, Cut Salary Of IDR 89 Billion Per Year Or Leave!

JAKARTA - Frenkie de Jong is in a dilemma. He's facing the choice of staying at Barcelona with a pay cut or leaving and joining Manchester United.

Recent reports suggest that Barcelona have told the 25-year-old to take a £5 million-a-year pay cut if he wants to stay at Camp Nou.

Barcelona itself is ready to release the player if the offer is not accepted. Manchester United is the strongest candidate to get the services of the Dutch player.

De Jong has actually refused to join Old Trafford several times. He wants to stay with the Blaugrana.

However, an ultimatum from club management automatically opened for MU to get De Jong. It is not impossible that De Jong finally chose to leave the Camp Nou.

Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal with Barcelona. The transfer value of the player is reportedly worth 55 million pounds (equivalent to IDR 890 billion) and has the potential to increase to 72 million pounds.

This situation forced De Jong to be quick to make decisions. The reason is, the Red Devils could lose patience and withdraw from the deal with the La Liga giants.

MU itself has set a deadline for the deal. They told De Jong and Barcelona a decision needed to be made this weekend because otherwise they would be chasing other targets.

Barcelona reportedly have a salary debt of £17 million with De Jong as a result of the suspension of wages agreed to during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

According to reports, the debt will not be repaid by Barcelona in the near future unless Manchester United sign him and agree to partially cover it. De Jong himself has been told the sale is purely an economic problem facing Barcelona.
