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, to be fair, de jong is the highest earner at Barca. He is cobrando mucho pasta. There’s no getting around that. A lot of players have reduced their pay while the club struggles under the strict financial regulations the league is imposing on them. De jong hasn’t.

Employees are not responsible for employers mismanagement, and the way the club has treated him, he owes them nothing.

I mean, for sure. He’s under no obligation. I was just stating the facts—he is the highest earner, he didn’t lower his salary when most other players have. That’s just what’s happening. He doesn’t need to do anything about that, but that doesn’t change those two things.
