Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has rejected rumours over his refusal to take a salary cut at the Camp Nou.
The Dutch international was tracked by Premier League pair Manchester United and Chelsea in a long running summer transfer battle for the former Ajax playmaker.
Despite Barcelona’s willingness to sell the 25-year-old, de Jong constantly stated his desire to stay in Catalonia, ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
However, that was balanced against a requirement to amend and reduce his wage package with La Blaugrana, due to their financial issues.
De Jong has already confirmed he was pressured into considering an exit from the club, by president Joan Laporta, as transfer interest in him increased.
Alongside that bold claim, he also refuted speculation over how much he earns at Barcelona – and his stance on a pay cut – to assist with a fiscal remodelling at the club.
“There have been many lies and falsehoods spread about my salary”, as per reports from TV NOS, via Mundo Deportivo.
“In each of the first 3 years I played here, I cut my salary.
“Eventually the money comes back, and it comes on top of my normal salary, so it looks bigger.
“I think a lot of people don’t understand this, but the figures the media are spreading are false.”

Typical Laporta things. Remember they were talking about going to court because of De Jong's contract. This is a man that whole presidential campaign was based on a billboard and the idea he was going to persuade Messi to stay at Barca. And the first thing he did is to kick him out... No wonder Florentino said that he is very happy for Laporta's election as a president. Plan Destroy Barca 2.0 in action. The first one Bartolumeo destroyed the present and now Laporta destroying the future by selling future dividends for 25 cents of a dollar.
