Explained: What happens if criminality allegations are true in contracts of De Jong and 3 others

ESPN

 discovered evidence of criminality in the contract renewals for 

If it turns out that the contracts are indeed illegal they will be automatically voided and the terms rescinded, per ESPN. 

Thus, Ter Stegen's contract will end in 2023, not 2025. De Jong's deal will end in 2024, not 2026 and Lenglet's will also end in 2024, not 2025. As for Pique, he already agreed on another pay cut. 

What's more, the salaries of all the aforementioned players will also be slashed and reverted back to the previous agreement. They could also be made to pay back some of the extra earnings from the 'illegal' agreement. 

Barcelona confirm they see 'criminality' in contracts of De Jong & 3 more players

 have confirmed to COPE, RAC1 and other media outlets that they have found 'signs of criminality' in four agreements signed by Bartomeu and his board.

The Catalans have spoken to all four players, offering to void these deals and return to previous contracts. The only player who accepted the proposal is Gerard Pique.

Barca still want to annul these deals but now it depends on lawyers providing that these renewals were indeed criminal actions by the previous board.

Barcelona tell De Jong his contract involves criminality, want to annul it – top source

 his current Blaugrana deal involves criminality caused by Josep Maria Bartomeu's board, per The Athletic's David Ornstein.

The contract 'provides grounds for legal action' against those involved, including De Jong himself, it is said.

The club would want to annul it and revert to the Dutchman's 'old' contract terms.

This might be the way of forcing the player to take a salary cut or leave the club, although Joan Laporta claims there is no place for extortion here.

. The player is said to be willing to stay at Barcelona no matter what.

yes ooo, some ignorant will still saying rubbish without seeing or knew anything, the club that has a competent lawyer with good manager and also knows the implications of breaching of agreement can't just come out and said his player must take pay cut  without founding any errors in agreement, thanks my brother.

Abass Tosho

yh bro .but this our former president have made  club like local club be

Florence Owusu

And even if fdj  accepted this for long either to take a pay cut or  leave  the team like this matter will end without  any issue but sometimes many things happen for a reason n if he had left too or agreed on salary cap like this. issue will not be leaked if only is true

@florence, will you follow De Jong to another club? your love for him is more than the club....Most of you fans are something else? God help you all?

Obinna Ogbonna (aka Professor/ Dembele).

some of the fan will still come here and be thrash, that Laporta is disrespecting de joung, honestly the signing of de Jong and other signings during batomue regime is totally a waste.

God help you all? because a fan admires a player more than you do?? Show some respect!

Now I think some ignorance fans can see the reality from my previous posts...... Those players they claimed they're playing for the club of theirs life are just playing for money and that's why they're not ready to leave because no Club that managed with Intelligent people like Laporta and Alemany will pay such foolish deals....... But Any Selfishness Plans Against this Great Club shall Never Prosper..... Visca Barca 🔥🔥🔥❤️💚❤️‍🩹💯🗿🌍✨

when did you advise them and which player did you advice?do they know you

iam_jimkeyz

How many times are we going to lock him up in the comments!😂

If this is True... Bartomeu needs to be Locked. up ASAP... because I'm sure he would have earned somethings from those arrangements...

And if this also seems to be true and the Players/agents are aware... then it's a whole load of disappointment...

This is why I advise, as a player...  Don't be too confident about your agents, they want to make money, try and be involved.. Don't just Sign everything...
