Despite the financial intricacies, De Jong's focus remains on contributing to Barcelona's success, aiming to clinch titles and solidify his legacy within the team. “You are talking about my contract. There is a lot of smoke, that if I earn 40M... but this is very far from reality. I am very happy at Barça, it is the club of my dreams. I hope to continue here for many years,” he added.
Clarity on the Future Amid Transfer Speculation
Despite interest from other top European clubs, notably Manchester United, De Jong has reaffirmed his desire to stay at Barcelona. He also wants the press to stop the rumours about him and everyone else.
"I think what you have to change is what you are doing with many players and coaches, writing things that are not true. Sometimes I hear that I don't have Barça level. I think the press should change the lies about me", he said.
