Barcelona Drops Rant Against Media’s Reporting Amid Liverpool, PSG Transfer Rumors

De Jong is determined to stay at Barcelona amid rumors that contract talks have stalled with the Catalan club.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport (h/t GOAL), the 27-year-old said: “Let the newspapers talk about me. I’ve been here for a while now, so I’m used to it. It can be frustrating. At some point, they invented things, so I had to express myself. I feel good. I’m in very good shape, and I don’t think about my ankle during matches anymore.”
