Laporta insists on putting De Jong against a rock and a hard place

Frenkie Of Jong follows without resolving his future in the FC Barcelona. In spite of the offers of the Manchester United and the interest of Chelsea, the Dutch keeps firm his posture to continue in the club, still when the directive headed by Joan Laporta seems determined to sell him. In this regard, the mandator culé left clear that, if the midfield player wishes to remain, will have to flexibilizar his economic aspirations.

In an interview with 'The New York Times', Laporta admitted his "love" by Frenkie, the one who still has four remaining years of agreement with the Barça. However, the president culé argued that the player of 25 years "has to help to the club", since, so that his continuity do not affect the finances of the institution, the ideal is that it go down his index card. In 2019, Of Jong signed until 2026 by, initially, 14 'kilos' net to the year, a quantity that, in this moment, to the club does him very difficult pay.

If the one of Arkel remains with his current index card, 'MARK' detailed that the Barça will have to pay him 73 'kilos' net in wage by the four remaining seasons in his agreement (18+18+18+19) and 15,58M corresponding to a variable of fidelity (2,88+9,7+0+3 in the next four years). In total, Frenkie ingresará 88,58 million euros if it fulfils his original agreement. From here that so much the directive like the technical body follow ponderando his exit like the best form to avoid this enormous cost to the club.

"I do not know if it will remain . It remains long and still they can happen a lot of things", said Xavi Hernádez on the 'case Frenkie' in the middle of turns it American. Besides, the technician egarense ensured that put to the Dutch of head office does not have at all that see with presumptive 'signals' to force the exit of the midfield player. "I do not need to send signals in the field, because I speak directly with the footballers", sustained the míster.

Laporta Defends the strategy of the 'crowbars'

To these heights, the Barça keeps on being the club that more has spent in signings in the market of summer, all this thanks to the activation of the 'crowbars' financial that promised Laporta. In this regard, the president commented: "I am not player, take risks calculated. In my previous stage (2003-2010) put the very high expectations and succeeded. And afterwards, the fans all over the world, around 400 millions, need successes", explained the mandator.

From here that, from now on, everything depend on Xavi Hernández and a team reinforced in all his lines. Although the staff is not closed, the technician egarense already begins to outline his eleven for the first compasses of a season that will be very demanding in the sportive. It will be Frenkie of Jong in the plans of Xavi? It will be necessary to expect at the end of the market to resolve one of the 'serials' that subtract him to the club regarding players refers . In the meantime, Chelsea expects, at last, concretise a signing this without that the Barça interpose in his plans.
