🚨 BREAKING: Frenkie de Jong Rejects Saudi “Blank Cheque” – Commits to Barcelona Future!
Midfield maestro shuts down Al Ittihad approach as contract renewal talks reach final stages.
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has rejected a mega-money offer from Saudi side Al Ittihad, reaffirming his desire to stay at Camp Nou, per Diario Sport. The 27-year-old turned down a “blank cheque” salary in favour of committing to the Blaugrana’s new project under Hansi Flick.
De Jong, whose current contract runs until 2026, is now in advanced negotiations with Barça over a new deal. Flick has made the Dutchman the cornerstone of his tactical blueprint, citing his blend of creativity, control, and defensive solidity as essential.
After a dominant display in Barcelona’s 4-0 UCL win over Borussia Dortmund, the club is now accelerating talks to finalize the extension and lock in one of Europe’s elite midfielders.
The rebuild is on—and De Jong is
staying.
