Frenkie de Jong is one of FC Barcelona's top players. However, he is also one of the players who has the most impact on the Barça club's economy, and that is why Barça would be looking to modify this situation in its next renewal agreement
For anybody is a secret that the FC Barcelona is crossing an economic situation extremely complex. Recently, it has arisen information that the club culé would be considering the sale of players 'top' to balance his finances and give a break to his maltrecha economy. Under this premise, one of the names that has sounded with elder forces to be object of this 'operation gone out' is the one of Frenkie of Jong.
The Dutch is one of the key players in the diagram of the Barcelona square. In front of this situation, is predictable that several clubs approach to the Barça to try do with the services of the talentoso midfield player of 26 years of age. Although the Barcelonan picture does not seem to have intention to sell it, is possible that consider it if it arrives the correct offer, so much by the economic entry that it could obtain as by the relief that would represent in the scale salarial to fulfil with the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga.
The native of Arkel has agreement with the FC Barcelona until 2026 and at present is one of the players with elder loads salarial in terms of the fair play financial. In fact, as it informed 'RAC1', his presence in the combined Barcelona could be him costing to the Catalan entity at least 37 million euros by campaign, what adds a total of 74 M€, since in theory would subtract him two seasons in the club.
The numbers of the Dutch that 'concern' to the FC Barcelona
This figure (37 M€) obtains from his gross fixed wage by season, that as 'SPORT' would be of 19 M€ in the season 24/25 and in the 25/26, like result of the postponements of the seasons 20/21 and 21/22 because of the pandemia of the COVID-19. To this would add him the designated 'Loyalty Bonus' or 'Bono of Loyalty', which, as referred source, would be of 4,2 M€ in the campaign 24/25 and 4 M€ in the 25/26.
To that mount (23,2 M€ roughly) it would be necessary to add him 3,2 M€ in bonuses if it reaches some aims (arrive to final of Champions League and top champion, impose in LaLiga or win the Glass of Rey). Already to these 26,4 M€ it would be necessary to add him the 11,4 M€ concernientes to the payment of the amortización, of which still would subtract 22,8 M€ of the 86 M€ (75 fixed more 11 in variables) that paid in his moment to the Ajax by his traspaso.
Frenkie Of Jong, sale or renewal to the drop?
From here perhaps it arises the apparent urgency of the FC Barcelona for renegotiating the conditions of the agreement of Frenkie of Jong, with the intention to expand it until 2029. This would allow a redistribution of the wage and the possibility to perceive a quantity more chord to the current situation of the club, around 14-15 million euros. Equally, this would allow to redistribute the amortización to a more affordable quantity for the cast culé. If this no sucede, is likely that the available option go back more attractive for the Barça.
