He FC Barcelona He also wants to renew Frenkie de Jong (27 years old), but in his case there is not as much optimism as in those Peter, Gavi and Araujo. More than anything else because the Dutch midfielder has suffered complicated situations in the entity of Barça and the rectors of the club do not clearly see that he wants to extend his contract beyond 2026.
This does not mean that Barça have no interest in the Dutch international. On the contrary. They want to renew him because he is a footballer at a mature age and whom Hansi trusts flip because he sees very good technical and physical conditions. However, in the case of Frankie A certain coldness is noticed, starting from the fact that he has not yet responded to the proposal made by the club to extend his contract until the end of 2023 and which the MD announced at the beginning of this year. It is an economic proposal that is less than what it charges, but it should be considered that it is already receiving the arrears that it postponed, at the request of Bartomeu’s board, during the pandemic. In any case, from the sports area of Barça it is considered an attractive proposal that responds to the situation of Frankie in Barça and the football market.
However, at the club that is also known De Jong He had a difficult time coming out about his contract and his signing that came when, two summers ago, he was forced to go to Manchester United. Deco wasn’t there then but he knew what the movie was about. The player also experienced the criticism he received heavily for being out for more than five months with a sprained ankle. In fact, he recently came to confirm that the operation was never recommended by the club but instead that the conservative treatment of his disease was agreed upon by the club’s doctors.
Because of this panorama, in Barça they do not take it away Frankie I don’t want to renew. If so, the club knows it has to face another unwanted scenario: to see him leave in 2026 as a free agent without recovering a single euro of the 75 million fixed (plus 11 in possible variables) paid for him in 2019. Barça does not want to reach that and, therefore, if before next summer De Jong does not agree to extend the contract, the priority of a transfer in 2025 will be put on the table. of flip if he bet to stay until 2026 to leave for free.
