TER STEGEN AND DE JONG HAVE MILLIONAIRE CONTRACTS
Barça does not change its position with Ter Stegen and De Jong
FC Barcelona has a very defined list of untouchable players for the 2023-2024 season. Both Frenkie de Jong and Marc-André ter Stegen will enter this group despite their high salaries
With the exits of Gerard Hammered, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in the last season, Marc-André ter Stegen and Frenkie of Jong have turned into the only surviving of the agreements 'Pharaonic' of Josep María Bartomeu in the FC Barcelona (waiting for what happen with Clément Lenglet). Both signed in 2020 an extension of his agreements until the summer of 2026, with the aim to differ his respective wages and reduce the costs of the club between 2020 and 2021, in the middle of the pandemia of the coronavirus when reducieron considerably the income of the club.
Although in this moment was of a lot of help, now supposes a worry 'extra', because they are wages that are far to go in in the scale salarial that have implanted Mateu Alemany and company. For example, it foresees that the Dutch midfield player perceive during the season that comes a wage of 18 million euros more 9,7 'kilos' of bonus of fidelity. To this, it would be necessary to add him an extra percentage if, as it foresees , contests 60% of the parties. With Ter Stegen would be very similar and, although it supposes a problem 'fat' for the Barcelona interests, the position with both footballers has not changed.
The Barça does not have doubts with Ter Stegen and Of Jong
The group blaugrana is crossing for one moment economic very complicated and, in fact, still have not been able to process the registrations of the players that have renewed his agreements (to exception of Gavi) and are expecting that it approve the guarantee of the directive of Joan Laporta to avoid sanctions by the no reduction of the costs of the sections. It would not result a surprise that the Barça try to work in the discount of the wages of both players, but for the moment there is not at all on the table.
The club is not negotiating with Ter Stegen neither Of Jong a discount of his annual income and, according to the information of the newspaper 'SPORT', nor is a priority for the Barcelona to day of today. During the summer happened, yes touched the door of face to a possible negotiation, especially when it frustrated the exit of the tulip to the Manchester United, but did not arrive to good port. Now, in the club no descarta that in a near future can go back to insist, but is not in the diary of way 'urgent'.
The Barça will insist in other roads to free space in his mass salarial and generate Fair Play. Lto sale of players continues being on the table and foresees that in the weeks to come it insist in the exit of players like Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres or Franck Kessié, although there is not at all advanced or negotiated with the footballers or his clubs for the future. In this sense, so much Ter Stegen as Of Jong will be intocables... Also with his agreements.
Xavi has the two players
This summer, probably, will go back to arrive offers especially by the midfield player, but from the offices of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper have left more than clear that the exit of the players is impossible, except something 'out of market'. Xavi Hernández has included them, to both, in his list of players intocables, in which they also are Pedri González, Ronald Araújo or Robert Lewandowski.
