But it's such a waste for Barcelona to keep De Jong even longer. His wages are high, even after he agreed to decrease them with Barcelona in order to extend his contract. If we always missed him in any season due to his injuries, it's a loss to always pay his expensive wages.
I hope Barcelona will sell him instead of keeping him. He was rarely contributing to the club and this is a sense reason to sell him. I hope he will also understand the situation.
The last time I heard that if De Jong has agreed to be sold, as long as there was no improvement his condition.
Firstly when I think of this deal I actually want to curse the then board of directors at Barcelona, they were the ones that actually put the club in this current financial mess today. De Jong sitting on a weekly $600k is absolutely a joke to me coupled the fact that it was a long term deal is absurd. Yes we all know how super talented he was but he is just been so unlucky due to injuries and that I can’t blame him for. Over the past three seasons I can remember Barcelona have been trying to get him off their wage book with Ten Hag arriving at Manchester United and wanted the player but the player opted against the move.
In as much as I see him trying to actually prove himself by all means at Barcelona I think some love stories have to just end and everyone go their separate ways to find peace, this lad could actually see his injury going away by switching clubs but he doesn’t wants to leave and the club cannot do anything because he is contracted to them and selling him off will mean he will be paid his balance base on the contract agreed with a new club which is a big problem at the moment for Barcelona because no buyer is actually coming to pay that ridiculous wage load for an injury prone even though talented
