21 - Frenkie de Jong

Just gonna ballpark now.
Signed for 75m in 2019 on a contract running until 2024. That's 15m per year amortisation.

In 2020, signed a new deal until 2026. 60m remaining, 10m per year (still under the old rules).

10m of his fee remains. If he extends this summer (reportedly 3 year contract), that's gonna be 3,3m per year. We'd save 6,6m on amortisation.

Re his salary, he's set to receive 22m gross next season according to the leak. His contract average was 19m. Let's suppose he takes a significant cut, 15m gross for the next three years. 7m remain to be paid. If evenly distributed, that's 2,3m per year.

In total, his renewal would save us about 11m on the books under the assumptions above.

Significant, but less than half of what's needed for Nico.

Financial year ends today, we'll be much smarter in the coming days.

Yep, Frenkie's renewal under these conditions would basically cover Nico's amortisation costs.

And for Nico's wages (let's say initial base salary 14m gross) we will clear space with Ansu leaving and sales of Pablo, Pau Victor and Inaki (probably won't get much for him but whatever it is would help) and B team kids like Big Dom and German Siunaldo.

So we should be very close to being able to register Nico without any big sale but ofc we need to also register new contracts of Lamine (biggest influence on salary cap), Raphinha, probably Eric and also Kounde's renewal that is reportedly already agree but we will probably wait until September/October to make it official.

But ofc who the feck knows what the real situation is and what obstacles Tebas wil put in front of us again.
