According to the leaks, Barcelona wants to get rid of him, but he has no intention of leaving at all. I wonder if they will put as much pressure on him as they tried to put on De Jong, he has a contract until 2028, it's quite a long wait (and pay wages Grin).
Barcelona needs to get rid him of the club in order to free space a spot for their new player. Getting rid him is one best solution available. I don't think his wage is the problem. It's because his wages is pretty small, which is only €121,154 weekly. His wages is not burdening the club, but has to follow 1:1 La Liga rules. So getting rid him of the club is best decision to take.
However, i still expect Barcelona to treat him badly like they did to the De Jong to pressure him in leaving from the club.
De Jong does want to stay at Barcelona, ​​and his salary is higher than some other players, making him a burden on the team, especially since he can no longer contribute optimally due to frequent injuries.
Barcelona has been trying to sell De Jong since last season, but he still wants to stay, meaning the team management must respect his contractual obligations.
Overall, Barcelona's players are quite good in all lines and some of the substitutes also have the same quality, so I don't see De Jong having a big impact on the team, it's just a contract issue, so whether Barcelona wants to or not, they have to keep De Jong.
