If Frenkie de Jong has often been announced on the departure in recent years, the midfielder has proven that he can be reliable when trusted. In La Liga, last year, the Dutchman performed well, and his status has changed in the hierarchy. So much so that he became vice-captain of the club with Marc-André ter Stegen, just behind Sergio Roberto. And like his German goalkeeper, the former Ajax could extend the adventure in Catalonia.
In any case, this is what FC Barcelona hopes. Sport reports that the Spanish club have started talks to reach a contract extension for the Dutchman, with a similar formula to that of Ter Stegen. The doorman has indeed given up part of his salary to generate “fair play”, which greatly suits Barcelona’s finances. It remains to be seen whether De Jong will agree to do the same, he who is under contract until 2026 and who, at 26, has one of the highest salaries at the club.
