He only cares about being all time top scorer in the champions league. Knowing Ronaldo, he's probably already thinking that he needs to rack them up to ensure that Haaland doesn't overtake him.

This is a man who actively seeks to evade tax. Not a surprise to this morally moribund cretin.
Okay cool
Retweeted by Pedro Sepulveda:
No wonder we're the only club in for him. Those are crazy wages for someone who's not even world class and who's commercial pull is nowhere near the top players.
Lord knows how this club is showing that its learnt from past mistakes if we sign De Jong on wages of 400k per week plus bonuses ffs.
Thank feck that clause exists
Eh define ‘world class’ please
Isn't his actual wage around 250k a week? It is higher for the next few years in all of these cases for Barca because he deferred the vast majority of his wages since 2020 - the reduction from 14m euro to 3m and 9m euro for each of the past 2 years.
Someone who's comfortably one of the very best in their position in the world. Someone who's integral to their team. De Jong is clearly neither of those things. He hasn't kicked on since he left Ajax. He'd be a good signing but those wages are higher than Salah's ffs, is he a better player than Salah? Would he be the second best player in the league or if Ronaldo leaves, the best? His wages would make him the highest paid in the league.
Nope even when he signed for them, his wages were reported to be around 400k per week. Utterly insane, De Gea, Sanchez levels of overpaid.
I thought with the likes of Pogba leaving meant we finally turned a corner but evidently not. The effect this has on our wage structure and the knock on effect of what other players will feel entitled to, leaves us in a mess. Good luck selling players in the future.
Thing is Rodri still offers that steel which is a very different profile to De Jong
Agreed, I don't think we can get away with de jong being the deepest midfielder in the pl
Then why sign a contract that says otherwise?
You see inflation affects everyone.. poor Ronnie.
I understand Ronaldo. Losing £120.000 a week is not easy.
There’s no such thing, it’s just a buzzword.
They aren’t all equally rewarded.
How reliable are those reports? This article seems to be very detailed about the whole contract and is saying that his wage was 14m euro a year, which is much less than 400k.
I have no idea how reliable any of these articles are, but the level of detail presented would be a lot weirder to make up than the standard sensationalist reports of players wages.
Only £360,000 a week you say... however will he survive on such meagre money!
I can fully understand why he'd want to leave now. Modern day slavery working for that! Poor guy!
Yeah... thats just absolutely ridiculous. The fact he's upset at that is shocking.
In fairness, if my colleagues were useless underperforming wastes of space, and I was working hard and being successful, I wouldn’t be happy to take a pay cut.
Odd to take a series of tweets about the disaster which is Barcelona FC and spin a response exclusively critical of United.
What @Devil_forever fails to realise is that the 400k total that the outlets reported back when he first signed included all of the variable payments. In this case, he's only earning €400k/week this year because of the deferred payments + the loyalty bonuses. Otherwise, his fixed salary is supposed to be ~€269k/week as Luis Rojo reported. I doubt that United would do business here if they were made to offer Ronaldo-level salaries to de Jong.
Tweet with the translation:
That's pretty much echoed my thoughts and reading of the situation. Not a chance we would be paying FDJ that level of wage
Pogba
Henderson
Cavani
Mata
Matic
Lingard
Pereira
Ronaldo ?
Telles?
How much is that a week in wages Saved ?

Good deal for United and basically covers the Malacia deal without touching the budget.
Carrick seemed to manage ok, he was hardly tough as nails destroyer type DM.
I think an intelligent reader of the game can easily be just as successful.
and Xabi Alonso
essentially you either need a DM or a high quality deep lying playmaker.
Not to forget that all the others have had 25% knocked off their wages too.
Lee Grant too.
Honestly I know it's super unlikely but if we are able to sign Eriksen, Malacia, De Jong and Martinez this week / next week that would mark an impressive change compared to previous windows where we took forever to make signings.
Coupled with selling some of the fringe players like Pereira, Jones, Telles and a few others and it would be almost a miracle by out standards

Great deal.
Fantastic deal for us.
