Frenkie de Jong informed Barcelona are willing to take legal action over his contract

Barcelona are reportedly considering taking legal action over Frenkie de Jong's contract after asking him to take a pay cut.

The Spanish giants want De Jong, 25, to either reduce his salary or leave the Camp Nou to allow them to register their new signings. As per La Liga rules, they must make sales before August 13 for the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to play.

It's believed De Jong is owed more than £17million in deferred wages by Barcelona and still has four years left on his existing deal. Manchester United and Chelsea are interesting in signing the Dutchman before the transfer window shuts on September 1.
