It's amazing that after the whole Mbappe La Liga complaint farce, Barca easily walzed in and showed the world who's the bigger twat

For all the Barca fans who think their club is blameless, what would you be saying if Real Madrid were doing this to their player, in exactly the same circumstances?
He's not even 4th choice CB. they have Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Garcia, and Pique who are all actual CBs and would play ahead of him.
So how come the Catalan media keeps saying otherwise for the past few weeks, insisting that he had to take a pay cut or leave? Or stories about his camp getting annoyed at barcas conduct? All fake news media lies?
Because Laporta is totally honest and trustworthy and means what he says, right?
It’s rather hilarious though how Barcelona have managed to get their media to only talk about Lewandowski’s NET salary, since when does that ever happen? 
He’s on 355 k /week gross.
It’s clever though because it’s even managed to get knuckle draggers like this @Ragnar123 to believe that De Jong’s salary for 2022-23 will be double that
, as of course, his salary is reported gross.
Over the course of his 6 year deal, De Jong will be on 100,000 LESS than Lewa per week (gross). Yet it’s reported that De Jong, and not Lewandowski, is the one that needs to renegotiate to fit into the new structure.

That's true.
Peps a fan of Nunes from sporting. Possible they could go in for him. He’d be a very good addition to that squad if Bernardo is actually leaving. Think it’s been mentioned he has a release clause around the 50mil mark.

Isn’t he due 118 million over 4 years? Which is roughly 590k gross a week.
Who?
Barca “hold my beer”
Real Madrid >> Barca.
not even real act this badly.

The thing that i take umbrage with Barcalona is the players they signed on those big contracts then asking them to reduce, what if they would not have come if the wages were lower? it seems like Barca gets players through the door and then play the victim card. I have some sympathy that they are trying to compete with state & oil run clubs but we are all in that boat and so far Barca are the only ones reducing contract wages, live to you're means guys.
He is clued up but it's the issue with this type of reporters, he tends to focus on long forms articles which require more in depth access. When he suggested that Barcelona were willing to pay in full, it was quite obviously nonsense since the only figure that we heard was from the Cope(if I remember correctly) and the offer was 3m€.
So the transfer junkies have stopped listening to Fabrizio Romano now

All the time, while in the UK they tend to talk about gross salaries on the continent it's mainly net.
And please pay for it
Romano's fallen out of favour with many for some time now. He hasn't exactly had his finger on the pulse with this one though, has he?
Its not a lie or a false narrative.
Frenkie is on a salary that was granted by the club upon joining of whatever amount.
They are now trying to get him to take a pay cut.
The reasons for this is immaterial. This is basically what the ask is, so quit trying to act like its OK or normal or fine. I dont think its unfair to say that Barcelona are the biggest joke of club football in this time.
More thread names than a tailor's shop
Which is the weird one. You asked who does that? The answer is plenty of people outside of the UK.
Yes, I think they may have done. I know they will have checked it with their employment lawyers in advanceAnd that was legal?
They'd have to have paid you redundancy for option 2, surely?
Well, thing is Real is as bad as Barca but they when it comes to money , they pay it. They don't do the embarrassing things like Barca.
Barca, even at the peak times has been like this. All those tapping up players , publicily endorsing them and negotiate with less money.
I heard Lewa is getting 10m net. Which is 20m gross. He was on 24m at Bayern. Why would he take a 14m drop in wages?
Whichever way you phrase it Frenkie is being asked to take a pay cut. I have never heard such a thing.
You can call it a Barto contract but it's a contract signed with Barcelona FC and pressuring him out of it is a reprehensible act.
If I was him I would stay and make Barca honour their word. Pay me what we agreed. Simple as that
This is an excellent question. I'm very interested in seeing who does (and doesn't) reply to it.
Ziegler is reliable.
Pretty closed to Barca's handling of transfers and contracts this summer.
Ey? We’ve literally got a full month of the window left.
Has a 6 year deal, not 4.
Worth 255k /week gross, approx 80m base salary for the entire contract.
Then a bunch of variables are added on, just as with Lewa’s, including bonuses for winning leagues, CL finals, playing more than 60% of games etc.
His base salary ever since he signed, and even on the new deal since 2020 has always been a very fair 255-265k /week base deal (gross). It only looks like a daft wage now because rather than receiving 255k /week in 2020, he agreed to just take 58k

I read they were after some Brazilian midfielder as a replacement. Can’t remember the name!
Exactly, more than enough time to get this done. I mean we could get this done in a few days if Barca got their shit together and sorted the wage issues out
They've offered less than half what is due? That's so generous of them
It's quite generous considering they are flat broke, and can barely afford laces for the players boots.
