He said, "They have written many things about me.
"They have written that I do not want surgery and that they (Barcelona) will pay me a lot of money."
De Jong further says that he understands that there is frustration - but emphasises that there is a lot of inaccuracy being spread.
"I can understand, people get frustrated because they think I make so much money, they say I don't want surgery, and they say I'm on vacation and not training. But it doesn't fit."
