Just In: Barca President Reaches New Decision On De Jong After He Refused To Take Pay Cut Amid Man United Transfer

“We will do everything possible for Frenkie de Jong to stay. I hope that he does the same,” Joan Laporta said in his speech in the US.

“Frenkie wants to stay and the club wants him to stay. However, we may have conversations, as there is a new salary scale in place.

“Our wage bill is 40% higher compared to our competitors, and we have to discuss that with our players,” Laporta added.
