  2. Some quotes from his press conference:

    [Frenkie de Jong: “What you say about my salary is very far from reality. Figures have been invented that are not true. I am very happy at Barça and I hope to continue playing here for many years.”](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1759994715921862768)

    [Frenkie de Jong: “Everything that is said in the media about my salary and my future are lies. It’s a lot of smoke.”](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1759994935703482519)

    [Frenkie de Jong: “I know that a lot of things are made up in the media, you write things that are not true. You are doing it in general with a lot of players, coaches even. You can’t do that, you are making things up. Stop this.”](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1759995262347378720)

    [Frenkie de Jong: “Mundo Deportivo, you write a lot of lies. Why do you do that? Why do you invent things?”](https://twitter.com/BarcaTimes/status/1759997669840167108)

    [Frenkie de Jong: “I consider the club to be my teammates, the staff, I’m enjoying it a lot… The media sometimes criticise my level, it doesn’t matter because everyone can have their own opinion. But I don’t accept lies. Don’t lie.”](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1759995501351485700)

    [Frenkie de Jong: “I don’t earn €40m per season. That’s not true. This is far form reality.”](https://twitter.com/BarcaUniversal/status/1759996709063561262)

  4. So basically we are not spending any money this summer too. No DM LW etc.

  6. “I hope to stay here for many years” and still didn’t sign his contract extension yet, ok bro.

  7. Sign the extension if you want to stay for many years

  8. Sign it then. Earning so much but showing so little on the field.

  9. Laporta and deco leaking information to press to see if he decides to leave on his own

  10. possible hot take, he is worth 150 million easy but if we sell him for 100mil to a team that will pay his deferred wages i think we should do it.

  12. Sign the extension then broski. Its the club of your dreams right right ?

  13. Doesn’t matter how much he’s earning.

    He gave a number and Barca agreed.

    In what world does an employee reduce their salary😅

    Let my employer ask me to reduce my salary 😅

  14. Who was the moron who approved for De Jong to speak today after this dumb week.

    Also, every day I’m convinced he is leaving for free.

  15. He’s way too nice and friendly to get scapegoated by the media 🙁

  16. It’s a shame to see how they treat our much respected FDJ, best player in the Dutch national team and one of the best midfielders in the world. In the Netherlands he is widely respected because of his work ethics, loyalty and honesty. Something Barcelona doesn’t seem to value anymore.

    Maybe it’s time for FDJ to go to a club that at least has some direction and progression instead of staying at this ungrateful wandering club. I loved Barca because of their style and was so excited to see both FDJ and Koeman there but this season has been so stale, no progression whatsoever.

    Frenkie will be welcomed with open arms at any club he wants.

    Sorry for my rant, but these comments are unbelievable.
