de Jong: "They said a lot of things about me, that I don't want surgery and that I get paid a lot of money. There were numbers like €37M or so but the reality is very far from that. I'm nowhere close (files.catbox.moe)

Frenkie de Jong: "They said a lot of things about me, that I don't want surgery and that I get paid a lot of money. There were numbers like €37M or so but the reality is very far from that. I'm nowhere close to earning that amount. They think I make a lot of money, don't train but that is not true."

I mean, I get it. But I probably would. You’re talking millions and millions of euros PER YEAR. I say this as not a millionaire, but that’s the kind of money that you can be fine with for the rest of your life. Not to mention he’s a more habdsome, multi lingual footballer, so he could easily retire into a life of leisure making appearances, commentating, etc.

And we’re not talking about lowering from 27.7M to 100,000. We’re talking, like, worst case scenario wiping away bonuses and living of NINE MILLION a year.

These are multimillionaires. And we’re talking like they can’t be slightly less super wealthy? Cmon.
