His representative, Ali Dursun, explains that "we finish to break with the Barça, but resulted that the president himself wanted to come. I said him to Frenkie, no longer answer at all of Spain, although afterwards we said us that had 45 minutes and that it was possible to listen them. And after exactly 45 minutes convinced us. When the leaders of the Barcelona were , Frenkie and I said us that it was sufficient".
The FC Barcelona attained to convince to Of Jong, and the footballer ensures that it did not treat of a question of money but futbolística. "This time the Barcelona came with what wanted. It did not have at all that see with the money. When I speak, I speak of football. Like this it was as I did it with all the clubs interested. But now the Barcelona had a plan with me, indicated how saw my future, expressed the expectation that I could be an important player here", desvela Of Jong in relation to the arguments of the Barça to convince him.
