Barcelona are close to finalizing a new contract for Frenkie de Jong that will keep him at the club until 2029. Talks between Deco and de Jong’s agent Sébastien Ledure have progressed positively, with the deal set to restructure his high salary by spreading deferred payments across more years.
De Jong, currently under contract until 2026, has consistently rejected outside interest, affirming his desire to stay. The extension would provide financial relief for Barcelona while securing a key figure in Hansi Flick’s project.
Signed from Ajax in 2019 for €75m, de Jong has since become one of the team’s leaders and was recently named third captain. Despite injury setbacks, he remains indispensable in midfield, forming a strong partnership with Pedri.
At 28, he still dreams of winning the Champions League with Barça and sees this renewal as a commitment to finishing that mission. For the club, the extension represents both financial stability and sporting continuity, ensuring a pivotal player spends his prime years in Catalonia.
