Barcelona has a clear stance and conditions for the renewal of Frenkie de Jong

The case of the renewal of Frenkie de Jong with FC Barcelona has taken an unexpected turn recently. It has been revealed that the 27-year-old Dutch midfielder intends to extend his contract with the Blaugrana club, which currently runs until June 30, 2026. After a challenging start to the season due to injuries and an uncertain role in the team, the player from Arkel has managed to improve his situation, gaining the trust of Hansi Flick and taking on an important role.

It is worth mentioning the stance that FC Barcelona may be adopting regarding the renewal of Frenkie de Jong. Recently, it was reported in 'The Athletic' that in 2024 the club had offered a contract extension to the Dutch player, which went unanswered. This raises doubts about whether the Catalan team might have reservations regarding this negotiation.

However, according to reports in 'Mundo Deportivo', FC Barcelona is satisfied with Frenkie de Jong's performance and shows willingness to negotiate with his agent, Ali Dursun, regarding his renewal. Although there is no rush to address this issue, some sources indicate that conversations have already begun.

Moreover, the conditions of the renewal, both in economic terms and in duration and other aspects, will largely depend on the continued performance of the Dutch midfielder. Additionally, these parameters will be subject to the opinion of Hansi Flick and how he views the contribution of the '21' to the Blaugrana sports project.

The Catalan team already has conditions to extend the contract of the Dutch player

In this line of reasoning, according to the sports newspaper 'SPORT', FC Barcelona is apparently looking to adjust Frenkie de Jong's salary to the financial situation of the Catalan team, possibly reducing his base salary but increasing the 'bonuses' linked to his performance. This would not imply a reduction in the player's total earnings, but rather they would be tied to specific objectives in his contract.

Similarly, there is the option to include in De Jong's new contract a buyout clause of €80M. This aims to protect the Dutch player and facilitate a possible exit if interest from other clubs arises or if Frenkie himself decides to seek new challenges.

Will this negotiation reach a successful conclusion soon?

The future of this situation will largely depend on Frenkie de Jong's willingness to negotiate his renewal, as well as the alignment of the conditions proposed by FC Barcelona with his own desires to remain at the club long-term, considering his satisfaction with his life in the Catalan city and his role in the team.
