Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie de Jong has come out to hit out at the media over reports about his salary and a potential summer exit. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he gets very irritated with some of the false news the media has been spreading about him, and he wonders how those behind them are not ashamed of themselves.
De Jong added that the media has been saying he earns around €40M per year, and that is very far from the truth.
His words, “If I’m honest, I am getting quite irritated lately. I am very angry at what you (media) write or say about me. There are a lot of stories that are simply not true. I simply can’t get my head around it. Some of you write lies all the time and I don’t get how you are not ashamed about it.
There’s a lot of talk about my contract situation and my salary. There’s a lot of smoke in there and plenty of lies. You the media are saying that I earn around €40m per year… this is really far from the truth. I am not going to reveal figures, but that’s simply lying. I am really happy here. Barcelona was and is the club of my life, it was my dream to play here and it still is. I am not happy with the press and everything that surrounds the club because, as I’ve been saying, it’s full of lies.”
WOW.
