De Jong's Barca contract issue could hamper United move
Marca claim they have seen Frenkie de Jong's contract with Barcelona that runs out in 2026.
The midfielder agreed to reduce his salary to just €3m in the 2020/21 season and €6m in the previous season in order to help Barca survive the pandemic.
He is due to earn €18m next season for the next three years, before a €19m pay-off for the 2025/26 campaign.
Basically, he agreed to get less money between 2020 and 2022 with a promise Barca would make up for that between 2022 and 2026.
Now they are pushing him to either accept a wage cut or sign for Man United. In the latter case, it is unclear if he would receive any compensation for the money he should have received between 2020 and 2022.
