The Spanish media is currently talking about de Jong either signing a new contract with significantly reduced pay or leaving in the summer. The Dutchman is considered the Catalans’ top earner. But De Jong made it clear that he wanted to stay at Barça.
De Jong said at the press conference: “To be honest, the whole thing has been irritating me lately. I’m really angry about what you write or say about me. There are so many stories that just aren’t true. I just don’t understand it. Some of you always write lies. I don’t understand how you can’t feel ashamed about it.”
And de Jong followed up: “It’s often about my contract situation and my salary. You say that I earn around 40 million euros a year – but that’s really far from the truth. I’m not announcing the figures here, but that’s it a lie. I really like it here. Barcelona was and is the club of my life. It was my dream to play here – and it still is. But I don’t like the media and everything that happens around the club, because it’s all full of lies.”
