This season is coming to an end, for Barcelona, to retain Xavi and qualify for the Champions League, it is also decent, after all, Barcelona in this period cannot ask for too much, and in this summer, for Barcelona's top management, it will be busy again, because they need to continue to replenish reinforcements, but also to balance the salary structure within the team. There are two people with super high salaries, which Barcelona urgently needs to solve at present.
The first is De Jong, now for Barcelona, Laporta's routine operation, indeed made De Jong a little disgusted, signed the contract, deferred the payment of salary, and did not admit it when Laporta arrived, which is not a feeling of bullying customers for the huge Barcelona.
Now De Jong also chooses to break the can, De Jong can choose to leave, as long as he gives enough of the salary that was deferred before, if he doesn't pay, then De Jong will not leave, which can't be blamed on De Jong, this is Laporta's regular operation, and the players are already a little bored. The other one bears a lot of resemblance to De Jong.
Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona at the beginning, was the first core of the team, for Barcelona's rebuilding opportunity, after all, Messi was driven away, someone must support the scene, Lewandowski's joining, it can be said that Barcelona has indeed made a great difference, from the goals on the field to the influence off the field, it is Lewandowski who has supported the flow in the past two years.
However, for Laporta, Messi can leave, not to mention Lewandowski, a halfway monk, Lewandowski's salary in the first season is 20 million before tax, the second season is 26 million, and the third season, that is, the next season, Lewandowski's salary will reach 32 million, which is unbearable for Barcelona, but why did he offer such a high annual salary in the first place, and referring to Lewandowski's age, the third season is already 36 years old.
Radio Kobe: Lewandowski believes the club is pressuring him, as they did with De Jong two seasons ago, to leave or reduce his salary. Lewandowski's salary next season is the highest year of his contract. Lewandowski has stated he doesn't want to leave Barcelona and now we'll see if the pressure will make Lewandowski accept a pay cut
It can only be proved that Laporta offered such a high annual salary in order to attract Lewandowski to join, and it turns out that Laporta did not intend to let Lewandowski stay in Barcelona for more than three seasons, so he set a lot of rules, the first one, it will take more than 65% of the time to play next season, with Lewandowski's current state, he will definitely do it. Because he still really wants to stay at Barcelona.
Then the second is that Laporta hopes that in the third season, when Lewandowski can still maintain his form, he will negotiate a salary reduction contract with Lewandowski, which is Laporta's regular operation, which makes Lewandowski feel great pressure. He was supposed to get the highest salary next season, but because of Laporta's operation, his highest salary could become a low salary.
summary
The current Lewandowski has fallen into a dilemma, if Lewandowski does not agree to a salary cut, then Laporta will definitely let Lewandowski leave, because the current Lewandowski, if sold to a Saudi team, Barcelona can also earn a part of the transfer fee, if Lewandowski does not agree to a salary cut or agree to leave, then 65% of the playing time next season, Lewandowski will definitely not be able to achieve.
If Lewandowski chooses to stay in the team and reduce his salary, then the contract he signed before will be invalid, because when he should get a high salary, Lewandowski can only choose to reduce his salary, and whoever he changes will be psychologically unbalanced. So Lewandowski is now in a dilemma. It seems that the main thing is that the highest salary in the third year is not available.
