Barcelona offers new contract to Frenkie de Jong
Barcelona Offers Frenkie de Jong a Fresh Contract
Barcelona has made a significant turnaround in their approach to Frenkie de Jong’s future by extending a new contract offer to the talented midfielder. Earlier in the season, Barcelona had withdrawn their initial offer as de Jong had not responded, leading to speculation about his potential departure from the club.
New Contract Offer
According to reports, Barcelona has presented de Jong with a fresh contract that would see him stay at the club until 2028. The proposed three-year deal includes an annual salary of €18-19 million and also involves waiving the remaining backpayments from his previous contract. The offer was made by Director of Football Deco during a meeting with de Jong’s agent Ali Dursun in February, with a response expected in the coming weeks.
Interest from Premier League Clubs
Despite facing fitness issues in 2024, de Jong has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, with Arsenal reportedly among those keen on securing his services. However, Barcelona remains optimistic about retaining the 27-year-old, as de Jong himself is inclined towards staying at the club. His family’s settled life in Barcelona further strengthens the likelihood of him staying, a decision that also aligns with the preferences of manager Hansi Flick.
Outlook for de Jong’s Future
With a new contract offer on the table and a desire from both parties to continue their partnership, Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona looks promising. The club’s efforts to secure his long-term commitment reflect their confidence in his abilities and value to the team. As negotiations progress, fans eagerly await de Jong’s decision regarding his future at the Catalan club.
