Barcelona and Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong has broken his silence on the long-running debate about his salary, dismissing most reports as fake news. Speaking recently, after confirming his new deal with Barcelona until 2029, as reported by Softfootball , De Jong insisted that the numbers circulating in the media were greatly exaggerated and never accurate.
His contract renewal follows years of speculation about his future, often fuelled by Barcelona's financial issues and rumours linking him to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. Despite that, De Jong reached an agreement with Barcelona, as reported by Softfootball , and accepted a more balanced pay structure, a move that reflects his commitment to the club.
Fabrizio Romano, via his official X account , shared a direct quote from Frenkie de Jong denying exaggerated salary rumours at Barcelona, emphasising inaccurate media reports over recent years amid his new contract extension to 2029.
