Seems hundreds of clickbait publications are talking about Braithwaite not terminating his contract and copying and pasting "The Danish international owns real estate in the United States worth €250 million, but is refusing to leave Barcelona until they pay the two years left on his contract off.."

I guess Barcelona are behind a lot of this. Seems very off for them to blame players for not wanting to leave without getting what they are owed while they are still trying to spend and owe other clubs money.

We’ve had Danny Rose and Sege Aurier run their contracts to zero, and most other clubs have many similar stories (Ozil, etc).
Why do Barca think that their mistakes should be the player’s financial problem, not the club’s?

They were caught out paying people to give their players shit on social media under Bartrou a few years back. Would not surprise me if they're trying to smear their own players to try and cut their contracts short and dip out without the agro.

Begging players to defer salary then mounting a year-long smear campaign against them for not gifting the club that salary is the most unedifying thing I've seen an organisation do in recent times. Especially for an institution like Barca. These fuckers were refusing to have shirt sponsors just a few years ago.

Imagine agreeing to defer so much salary to help your employer out, only to then be the subject of club briefings to journalists that they're taking legal action against his "criminal" contract unless he gives up that money.

It's also the fact they have chased after about 20 footballers all summer flashing the cash, when at home they have players they don't pay.

I don't know how they are allowed to continue to get away with this.

Plus it's not even like it's a player who has been on the fringes for a few seasons and offers nothing, he is literally the best player at the club who still delivers for them.

Its odd. It's like PSG sent them into a meltdown and they've just forgotten all principles

De Jong will get close to 100M over the remainder of his contract. He's already delayed millions to help Barca and now they are effectively threatening him if he doesn't take a 50% hit? As long as Xavi likes him I'd tell the club to fuck off.

"mes que un club"

remember when Unicef was their first shirt sponsor - for free - because of their principles?

What a joke they've become

i sincerely hope they go bust, growing up Barcelona had a moral high ground and that has all been undone emphatically in the last couple of years.

Putrid club.

I understand the moral high ground in contrast to Real Madrid’s history, but my first proper exposure to Barca was the 1983 Super Cup which was one of the more horrific, cynical and petulant performances I have ever seen. Disliked them ever since:

Sounds like they're trying to bin Christensen and Kessie before they've even kicked a ball. They knew the problems they were in with wages before writing up contracts for either of them and yet still put the deals together. Put that together with the way they are trying to rob DeJong and Messi and probably a host of others, and it seems like they couldn't give a flying fuck about breach of contract.

Any player and agent would be mad to deal with them right now.
And yet we see Bernardo Silva and Marcos Alonso apparently more than willing to be part of the sham.

I can't understand how the pull of the club name can still outweigh the absolute shitstorm they would be walking into.
