Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists the club "respect" Frenkie de Jong after Gary Neville urged the midfielder to take legal action against the club.
The Dutchman's future has been a huge talking point this summer, with Manchester United desperate to sign him. However, a £17million debt of unpaid wages owed to De Jong has been an issue as the player, understandably, hopes to recoup those payments. He took a pay cut to help the club during the pandemic.
Barcelona's financial issues are well documented, yet they have spent big to add the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde this window. Neville has called on De Jong to seek legal action against the club as they continue to spend millions on new players - rather than pay him what he is owed.
