The football player feigned illness. The media fanned a new scandal in Barcelona

The agent of Dutch midfielder Barcelona Frenkie de Jong, Ali Dursun, denies rumors that the club has claims against the footballer.

Let us remind you that before the Champions League group stage game against Antwerp (2:3), rumors appeared that the player allegedly feigned illness because he did not want to go on the field.

According to the Dutchman's agent, this information is not true, writes De Telegraaf.

"It's all fake news. I haven't heard so many absurd rumors about Frankie in a long time. He was just sick. He had a fever and because of that he couldn't travel and play. Frankie is a professional, he always gets things done. "So don't ruin his reputation. There were no arguments or conversations on the phone. The relationship between him and Deku is just great," Dursun said.

Let us remind you that there was information in the media about dissatisfaction with the actions of the player on the part of Barcelona sporting director Deco. He allegedly did not believe that the player was really sick.
