Frenkie de Jong has already made a decision regarding his future at Barça. After several months of doubts, the Dutchman wants to renew his contract with the club

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Frenkie de Jong, like the FC Barcelona, has started 2025 in a state of grace. The Dutchman is beginning to show that the problems with his right ankle that hampered him so much during the first months of competition are now a thing of the past, and in the last matches, he has exceeded expectations in terms of performance.

Hansi Flick opted for him as a starter against Valencia in the absence of Pedri, and the '21' responded to the trust by scoring the goal that opened the scoring in the rout. His great performance against the Valencia team has led to praise from both the club and the press, and this positive dynamic has inspired the player, who is now willing to put his signature on a new contract with the club.

As reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', the midfielder has already told the locker room about his desire to continue wearing the blue and garnet jersey beyond the summer of 2026, the date when his current commitment with the entity expires. This news has been received with much enthusiasm at Can Barça, where they are also cautious about it.

A 'top' reinforcement for Hansi Flick

With a year and a half of contract ahead, the culés, who have considered the renewal offer made to the player last season as expired, are keeping an eye on Frenkie's case, prioritizing his form during the second half of the season and his performance during it.

If he regains his best version, De Jong would be a 'luxury' reinforcement for the midfield of Hansi Flick's team, his great supporter in the Catalan institution. However, his salary remains the highest in the squad, and in order to continue under the orders of the German in the City of Barcelona, the board would ask him to make an effort to cut his earnings and adjust them to the current economic reality of the entity.

Thus, the coming months will be crucial for the Dutchman, whose performances will mark the club's roadmap with his case. The only certainty, for now, is that there is no way for the player to enter the last year of his contract without renewing to leave as a free agent, and if this scenario occurs, Barça will put him on the market without hesitation. However, the great present of the team and the player would be bringing his stay at Spotify Camp Nou closer.
