Don’t really get the reason why some are this excited. Yes he is a very Pep player but I’m not sure he’s that good. He along with the likes of De Ligt and De Beek took the world by storm in their breakout season but since then they have all stagnated. I’m not saying he will fail here but I’m just questioning the optimism people have about him. Even in the current Barca team, as troubled as they have been atimes last season he wasn’t a regular for large parts.

Not likely.. they have all the prior Messi fans wanting to play for them but they can't pay them.

No. Barça owe him the difference of his deferred wages after he took a huge cut. This is what is constantly quoted to his ongoing annoyance.
"He has, however, since taken several wage reductions due to the La Liga team's financial crisis.
His initial salary was worth £12m a year before it was reduced to £9m in the 2020/21 season.
De Jong took a further pay cut the following year, earning £4.3m.
Barcleona are now required to pay those deferred wages to the player on top of his existing salary.
As a result, De Jong will take home £16.8million net in the 2022/23 season, followed by up to £21m in the following campaign.
Barcelona are said to owe Frankie De Jong £14.5m.
According to Mundo Deportivo, however, the club want the player to agree to another salary reduction amid their ongoing financial problems."

He was willing to move to ManUre last summer, but Barça didn't want to pay up what he was owed after taking a massive wage reduction, so he stayed put.

Didn't Barca want him to write off what they owed him? What a shit show that club has turned into.
