FC Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong are once again having some tension in their working relationship, although the player wanted to make it clear that he feels comfortable, and above all, that his real salary is far from what many believe
Frenkie Of Jong exploded in the previous press conference to the Napoli-FC Barcelona of this Wednesday when considering that they have published some lies around his figure and to his wish to go out of the Barcelona team, once again. Besides, it left clear that also have existed wrong affirmations around his wage in the Catalan club, which would be very inferior to the mentioned in the last weeks.
Like this at least it had signalled it the journalist Lluís Canut the past Wednesday in 'TV3'. As it commented Canut, the one who also gave some figures of the index card of the Dutch, the player although it is happy in Barcelona, no longer would see so bad to go "because it has intoxicated a lot the environment (around the footballer) spreading things that even affect to his personal field, of bad taste, of foul play, that can have him arrived", explained.
The figures of Frenkie of Jong in the Barça are something more discreet
But now, Canut affirmed that in these moments Frenkie of Jong is earning 16 million gross euros by season, that is to say, 8 'kilos' net, a very distant quantity of the almost 23 millions that had mentioned days backwards. Yes that it is necessary to remember that the Barcelona midfield player agreed with the club differ part of his income as a result of the pandemia, although it does not seem that the difference can be so marked between both figures.
Between this income differed would be part of the wage pactado initially and that would not have received in the last seasons. On the other hand, the information also signals that the agreement of the player culé, based in these 8 net millions, himself that has other quantities and bonos by different clauses fixed in the moment of his signature, by what could be something upper to the mentioned, although far still of the 20 'kilos'
