The stagnation of the contract between Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona continues

After having signed Gerard Martin, Ronald Aroujo, Gavi and Pedri to new agreements in the last week of January, and then agreed the extensions with veterans Inigo Martínez and Robert Lewandowski, the contractual situation with Frenkie de Jong is even more conspicuous in Barcelona. The Dutchman has no contract in 2026, and Blaugrana wants to sign it with a new agreement or sell it before the end of this summer.

Barcelona had made an offer last season, including a significant salary cut, but Jong did not respond to the offer, since he evaluated his options. With De Jong abandoning the team and fighting with an ankle injury in November, Blaugrana decided to remove that offer from the table. However, De Jong’s return to the form and the increase in game time under the Hansi movie has pleased the Dutchman, who now has a renewed desire to stay in Barcelona.

However, Marca says that there has been no contact between the agents of Barcelona and Jong. A sepulchral silence remains between the two parts, and there are no signs that it is broken at any time in the near future.

However, a road map has been developed for the coming months. Barcelona has no intention of allowing Jong to leave for free in 2026, and the prediction of the contract conversations will not begin until summer, once the season is held. Barcelona will put it on sale if these conversations are not successful, and they will no longer consider it an important loss for the team after the appearance of alternatives.

If that evaluation has the film is another matter. There have been a series of quite consistent reports that claim that Flick believes in the talent of Jong, and feels that his skill set adapts to his style. Recently a new report arose pointing out that Flick was pressing so that the club would renew the De Jong agreement, and last summer it was said that the German coach also responded to the Dutchman.
