Barcelona have hit back at the suggestion from Frenkie de Jong that the club's board leaked his contract details this summer.
De Jong's wage details emerged amid reports the player's contract was not valid and the midfielder last week made his displeasure at this course of events known – pointing the finger at the club's board.
Enric Masip, an adviser to the Catalan club's president Joan Laporta and a member of Barca's sporting committee, has now come out to reject the claims from De Jong. He wrote on Twitter: "I can say with knowledge of the facts that the person from the club who has most defended the continuity and of course the non-sale of Frenkie de Jong was, he has a first and last name, Joan Laporta. A sale was never considered by the club, NEVER, even with the delicate situation of the club."
