The future of Frenkie de Jong is uncertain. There is also uncertainty within Barcelona about the future plans of the 26-year-old Dutchman, as described Sports world.
Barça would like to continue with De Jong. The club made a proposal to the ex-Ajax player three months ago through technical director Deco. He was able to extend his contract until mid-2029 and did not have to compromise financially despite the club’s precarious financial situation. There has not yet been a response from the playmaker or from his camp, as has been revealed from sources within Barcelona.
The club is said to be extra alarmed by stories that recently surfaced in Spain about De Jong’s wish to leave. These were read with amazement by policymakers. If he wants to leave, next summer is the time for Barcelona to sell him. De Jong’s contract will then continue for another two years, which means that Barça still has a strong negotiating position at that time. In view of this, the club wants clarity from De Jong quickly, regardless of whether he wants to stay or leave.
De Jong is in his fifth season with the 27-time champions of Spain. He became La Liga champion once with Barcelona, but also has to see that his club clearly falls short in the battle with Real Madrid this season. The future prospects of the arch-rival also seem a lot better. There are fewer financial concerns and the selection has already been successfully rejuvenated. Real will play the top match against number two Girona on Saturday evening. Barcelona, number three in La Liga, will play at home against Granada on Sunday evening.
