This reads like a Ponzi scheme. Hey kid - you want to make €1m? Just send me €100k as an investment into Barca Studios (TM) 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.

Guy clearly loves barca, might go for it

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

[–] auddi_blo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

As always: Miguel Sanz = literal trash tier Miguel Sanz during the international break = even worse

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.

[–] ProtoplanetaryNebula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I remember correctly their justification for calling it illegal was that it was arranged by Barto. lol

[–] GaviFPS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ProtoplanetaryNebula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They said he tried to harm the club, but it could also be that he was just financially incompetent. I think this is the more likely scenario, personally.

[–] GaviFPS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"he tried"

lol, don't even bother talking about something you have no insight in.

He did harm the club, but proving someone’s intentions is not easy.

Still trying to get him to reduce the salary cause they screwed up....

Barcelona trying to rile up the mob with briefs to bully a player into a pay cut?

If i had a nickel for every time it happened....

[–] matthieuC@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So they want to get rid of him in tO years time

Guess they can’t find the “Successfully bully our players out of their money” lever.

Here we go with shit show

[–] monkeybawz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

Boehly: HOW DO I GET ME ONE OF THOSE?

[–] flawless_victory99@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] CudaBarry@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why would he trust a scummy club with an offer like this?

[–] larrylegend1990@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
