The future of Frenkie of Jong continues in the air, although Joan Laporta announced does some days that would do all the possible so that the midfield player continued in the FC Barcelona.

And it is that Frenkie goes in in the big group of players that accessed to differ his payments in the middle of the pandemia (with Gerard Hammered, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and other so many...). In the Barça did not achieve a cut salarial and bet by the diferimiento that 'punish' to the cub with millionaire payments in the next years. The midfield player is in this group and foresees that the culés will have to pay him 88,58 million euros until 2026, only between fixed wage and bonus of fidelity.

Although it is a very high figure (but that does not surpass, for example, the one of Hammered), 'MARK' has desvelado recently the details of the agreement of Frenkie of Jong with the Barça and the mount has his sense in the diferimiento and the extension of agreement that sealed in 2020.

The board of Josep María Bartomeu renewed him two years more to pay these 16M to which renounced.

This wants to say that Frenkie achieved to have an ascending wage from this year to earn the mount slope. Like this then , always according to the numbers that has desvelado the before quoted source, in the 2022-2023 will earn 18 millions: 14M of his wage and 4M slopes. In the following (23-24), will have a record wage of 27,7M between fixed and variables, that could increase if they fulfil variables.

  • Fixed wage: 14 millions
  • Wage 19-20: 12,32 + 2 million euros (for contesting 60% of parties)
  • Wage 20-21: 3 + 2 + 0,25 million euros (for contesting 60% of parties and win Glass)
  • Wage 21-22: 9+2 million euros (for contesting 60% of parties)
  • Wage 22-23: 18+2,88 million euros (by bonus of fidelity)

  • Wage 24-25: 18 million euros
  • Wage 25-26: 19+3 million euros (by bonus of fidelity)

The figure will go in increase

To the 88,58M (15,58M are by bonus of fidelity) that ingresará Frenkie in his accounts by his step in the Barça until 2026, could him add other eight 'kilos' (two by year) in case that it contest 60% of the parties each season. In case to win titles, arrive to a final of Champions League and another series of variables, the international with Low Countries embolsaría 12,8M more (3,2M by course).

Of there that it was 'intelligible' that the Barça was trying 'undo' of Frenkie of Jong this summer, with the United trying do with his services by 65 million fixed euros more other 20 in variables. The culés would give green light, in spite of the statements of Joan Laporta, and only is missing that the footballer decide to access to his mudanza to the Old Trafford.
