Barcelona's Dutch international midfield star, Frenkie de Jong, broke his silence, in light of the rumors swirling around him recently.
De Jong said: " In... In recent days there has been talk about my refusal to undergo surgery on my ankle, but this is not true. The club and I have agreed that the best option is not to undergo surgery.”
He added,” I do not understand where these rumors are coming from. I completely understand that people feel frustrated because I know that people do not have all the information about me or the club.”
He continued: “Period.” The latter preferred to remain silent, and then there were rumors such as that I refused to undergo surgery, or that I was receiving a salary of 37 million euros, and this was baseless.”
He added: “ I understand people's frustration, that they think I get paid a lot of money, that I refuse to go into the operating room, or that I take vacations and don't train, but that's not true. I've been recovering all this time."
