Frenkie de Jong is on the Barcelona bench, having spoken to the Guardian last weekend.

De Jong faced regular rumours about a potential exit, with one leak claiming to detail his salary, though he says the figures were inaccurate. “The press can really influence how people see you; that’s something I especially noticed during that period. Back then, it was all about my contract, with all sorts of figures about what I was supposedly earning, while that was not true. But then you notice they [the outside world] see you differently from that point; they judge you differently … It starts to get into people’s heads.”
