Frenkie de Jong

Why should he take a pay cut?

He can stay at Barca without taking a pay cut, he and Barca have each agreed a contract between them that guarantees a certain salary for a certain period and while Laporte may not like, that and wish to dismiss their legally binding agreement, it doesn’t alter the facts.

In short; The facts are that Frenkie Ding Dong can stay at Barca until their contract expires, they can’t make him move if he doesn’t want to, and Barca are legally obliged to pay him every damn cent of what they agreed to pay him for the agreed duration.

What are his options?

I agree with everybody else, he shouldn’t *have to* take a pay cut but Barca can’t keep him on the wages he’s on. It’s pretty simple and pretty obvious that if he wants to stay there, he’ll have to reduce his wage.

It’s not about being on a high horse or anything like that, it’s about the club not being able to afford to pay him.

If he doesn’t want to leave, he needs to (whether rightly or wrongly) come to some sort of compromise or he’ll be shipped off.

Fine, shipped off but he doesn’t then want to go to the rags. So what does he do? Hold out for another club? Stay at Barca? Go to the rags? The first isn’t a guarantee and the other two are lessers of two evils.

Be interesting to see how it pans out.

He is under a contract that Barcelona agreed to he can sit back stay there

That’s Barca’s problem. They offered and signed the contract to entice him there from his homeland and his boyhood club. They are legally bound to honour that contract, let alone ethically.
 
So if rumours are to be believed the rags are trying to sign a player that doesn't want to leave the club he is at? They are prepared to sign what effectively is an unhappy player from the start and work on him so that he sees that rag central is a good place he can flourish at.

 
Couldn’t Barca effectively force FdJ out by leaving him on the bench or not picking him for games. If he wants to keep playing for his home country then he needs to play not left out nine the cold.
 
If my employer tried that shit I’d stay out of pure spite and laugh my cock off knowing my wages are bleeding them dry.

Hope Bernie is watching this if he still has any desire to join them. Look at how they “honour” their contracts Bernie.
