Barca '22-'23

Another leak to pressure them into giving up money

I am glad TerStegen and Lenglet are refusing too

Absolutely bS. A entity suing itself for signing ridiculous contracts. No judge will rule contracts invalid, best ruling would be a judgement against previous president / board. How can you penalize the player for signing the contract given to him by the entity?

This just another extortion despicable attempt to bully de Jong.

Barcelona will be able to register everyone if:

• They activate the 4th lever, and
• Pique renews with a salary reduction

The signing of Alonso won’t be official either until this is resolved, club is waiting to get a reply back from the league. @gerardromero #FCB

Makes sense, 50ME deffered wages plus another lever worth 100ME. Good luck trying to get Silva too when you have to activate a lever just to register these players

And DeJong would still be owed money, 17ME to be exact

I don't know what agreement TS and Lenglet made because the club hasn't leaked their contracts yet but Barca would still owe DJ as the contract he signed which may have been invalid eould still entitle him to those 17ME as he was paid far less than the 2019 agreed wages. And since his deal expires in 24, Utd could easily half the transfer fee they are offering. This is a lose lose situation for Barca that'll take years to settle. They are up to their dirty tricks trying to pressure the players to voluntarily give up money they are owed. I am no lawyer but I bet Barca know that the prosecutors office will probably laugh in their face if they went and put a complaint about those contracts

It wasn't the players approaching the club but the other way round. I still remember how the players were haggling because they refused to take paycuts and got deferred wages instead while the rest of Europe were taking paycuts like a sane club should insist on. If you want to blame someone, blame your previous board but the players will obviously be paid what was agreed provided there was no malice involved from the players' sides.

I don't know how strong the employment laws are in Spain but it could be next to impossible for Barca to invalidate the contracts if the players acted in good faith.

Imagine your employer sending you a memo that the wages you agreed to 2 years ago isn't valid because your manager was too nice in giving you the wages you agreed on and which were approved by the finance department and you have to give back all of it. Will never happen because it's absurd and doesn't reflect well on the employer. Are these players in Unions? Can't believe I haven't heard a peep from them yet. Do Spain not have Unions?

I having a hard time determining who is most naive between you and BarcaLearning. I guess I’ll just assume both of you are!

You still fail to see how an entity can not sue itself? This alleged crime will never make it to court, let alone would the signee be held responsible. As I said earlier, this is nothing but another extortion attempt.

If I was De Jong’s agent, I would recommend a launching a suit now and demanding a free transfer while the courts sort this out. By the way, that suit would make it to court!

Hans, I think your club was on the money when they said they didn’t know if BarcaFC would still be around in 4 years!

They can  sue the previous board and contracts they signed.

Sure they can that’s what I’ve been saying all along! Duh,

But even a successful suit against Bartcriminal, doesn’t invalid player contract nor debt to club! But i guess this will sail right over your naive little head. My guess is you have never been anywhere close to financial or law education!

Everyone at Barca having to deal with all the eventual shit this scumbag made during his reign here... as I said b4 if the police are too corrupt or weak to doing anything to him, some gangster thugs kinds in Barca should literally kidnappe him n beat him up make him pay up or at least do whatever he can do make up for all the shit he did

That’s why the current board should be suing him! Instead they are extorting the players, while mortgaging  the future. This is all on the club, not the legal system nor the police. It doesn’t matter who is president if he was legally elected and wasn’t removed for any criminal acts. If this current board has evidence of wrong doing, they are articles in Spanish non profit organizations that can be invoked to hold past board / president accountable. I would have thought when the due diligence accounting audit was done with new board, the law suits should have started.

In the interim, all contracts and debts are on the club regardless of who in club signed contracts. As I said before an entity can’t sue itself!
