De Jong denies his XXL salary
The player revealed to Willem II and revealed to Ajax thus clarified that he was “ very happy » at Barça and that he hoped “ stay for many years », recalling that it was the club of his dreams.
De Jong also denied pocketing “ 40 million euros per year » and that it was “ far from the real figures “, since “ people make up numbers about (one’s) salary “. According to some, the player’s annual salary would approach 37 million euros gross (in order to give 18 million net).
