Barcelona have been told they must reduce their wage bill next season by La Liga, which means the Spanish giants could be forced to sell some of their key players including Frenkie de Jong.

The Nou Camp outfit looked to be facing exactly that situation this summer but were able to sell off rights and other assets to sustain the arrivals of the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.

However, La Liga President Javier Tebas warned that they may not be able to do that again next year. Barcelona have huge amounts of debt, some reports claiming this is touching €1billion.

There were rumours that the same could apply for De Jong this summer. United agreed a deal in principle for the midfielder in June before Barcelona’s unpaid wage debts to the player were uncovered.
