Laporta explained that this was to fit in with the club’s new wage structure.

"He wants to stay and we want him to stay. That is the most important thing. What's clear is that we have a new salary scale and all the players have to fit into it,” he said.

De Jong is already owed money from deferred wages and does not want to accept a further wage cut.

Barcelona’s actions have drawn a lot of criticism lately. Gary Neville advised de Jong to take legal action against the Blaugrana, while La Liga president Javier Tebas warned Barca that they could not force de Jong into accepting a pay cut, Football Espana reported.
