JAKARTA - Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong finally spoke up regarding the news that he refused a salary cut. He then dragged the name of Barcelona president, Joan Laporta.

De Jong's future at Barcelona is indeed hot news in the stock exchange last summer. He reportedly wants to leave for rejecting the club's policy on salary cuts.

At that time, the Dutch player was widely reported to be joining Manchester United or Chelsea who were keen to approach him. However, De Jong finally remained.

After a long silence, he then issued a denial regarding rumors of his refusal to accept a pay cut at Camp Nou. He also emphasized that he had never thought of moving from the Blaugrana.

De Jong confirmed that he was under pressure from Barcelona president Joan Laporta to consider an exit from the club. That's because of the many lucrative offers for the player.

"I decided in May I wanted to stay. My opinion never changed," De Jong told Ziggo Sport.

"I remained calm at that time. But then the pressure began to come, from the newspaper, from the president, to be precise," he continued.

Regarding salary, he admits there are many lies about it. He denies getting a big salary at Barcelona.

"There are a lot of lies and fakes that are spread about my salary. In the first 3 years I play here, I cut my salary," said De Jong as in the NOS TV report via Mundo Deportivo.

"Finally the money is back, and it exceeds my normal salary, so it looks bigger. I think a lot of people don't understand this, but the numbers that media spread are wrong," he said.
