Barcelona want to sell or give the letter of freedom to Braithwaite. The player to leave Barcelona wants to collect the 2 years of contract that he has left.
This is very different from how Barcelona doesn't pay their players.
Anyway it is still being negotiated, to draw conclusions you have to wait until the end of the market.
FdJ ended his contract in 2024 and was extended until 2026 with new figures. These figures are being paid when on the date indicated in the contract.
These are facts.
A club offers a player a million a week, he signs.
can't pay and agree a new contract at £500k per week.
pay for one week, then can't pay. We agree a new contract at £200k per week.
Pay for one week then can't pay so rewrite, etc etc etc. Always "deferring" rather than not paying.
Factually paid per the latest contract version. But it's just a shite way of acting (grown up kids playing real life FIFA) and nothing will change the mind of 99% of non Barca fans.
(Edit. It was United and my mate said "we've met current contract", I'd tell him he's an idiot")
