Frenkie de Jong to discuss salary cut with Barcelona this year - report

Frenkie de Jong has agreed to discuss a salary reduction at the end of the year, as FC Barcelona promises not to bring the player to court over supposed irregularities with his contract.

That’s according to a new report from Catalan Radio which says De Jong reached an agreement to stay at the club under the promise that his contract would be discussed later.

The player’s contract was the cause of international debate last season as the club reportedly tried to offload the midfielder to Manchester United and Chelsea.

The English clubs even reportedly reached agreements over his transfer fee with Barcelona, but they never got the player to accept the move.
