goon they’re a stupid club that liked to throw money around. And now that has ended up with them being basically bankrupt. At the time Frankie and de Ligt were the big catches - Barca wanted to beat City to him. So they paid a massive transfer fee and salary. Then they fell behind on paying the obnoxious salary, increasing it to around £650k currently. They tried to negotiate with him to take a pay cut a year ago, but he knows his worth.
