    This reads like a Ponzi scheme. Hey kid - you want to make €1m? Just send me €100k as an investment into Barca Studios ™ and then you have to go find 3 friends to give you a €100k investment.

    Don’t do it, Frankie. With the state of that club at the moment do you really think they could fulfil a career-long contract? If the couldn’t do it with Messi they can’t do it with you.

        He clearly loves the contract Barca offered him initially and that he will end by cashing in one day

          Oh please Real Madrid flair, don’t try to make it seem about money for him, then he would have joined United after Barca’s shithousery. He clearly loves the club enough if he’s able to overlook the boards’ shenanigans while rejecting similar and more reliable at United with his mate Ten Hag at the helm.

    If Barca offered me this deal my immediate thought would be "so you want to sell me in 2 years "

    If my memory is correct FDJ got put on huge wages because both Barca and PSG wanted to sign him and this was shortly after the Neymar deal so Barca didn’t want to lose face to PSG again.

    I think ETH would still love to have him so he doesn’t need to reduce much of anything if he wants the payday.

    Only an idiot would do this. If he thinks he has a lot of time left, no reason to do this. Hes a Barca starter, he can get paid if he leaves or decides to go to Saudi in 6 years

    Its funny because the summer of 2022 Barça wanted to sue De Jong because they said his contract was “illegal” (alongside Busquets, Pique or basically whoever had a big contract).

    Also they almost bullied him into accepting the ManUnited offer that summer when ETH joined.

    De Jong loves playing for Barcelona but Im pretty sure he doesnt trust this board too much after that.

        Nah. It was because the renewals happens when it was clear that Bartomeu was no longer going to sit in the seat. So he renewed a lot of players, making bigger problems fall on the lap on the next one in the seat.

        He essentially purposedly tried to hurt/damage the club. Which I am pretty sure would be illegal.
