FC Barcelona: Frenkie de Jong publicly opens the door to a departure!

The Catalan adventure is far from over for Frenkie de Jong. Indeed, the Dutch international (62 caps) will extend with the Blaugrana club until 2029, by this Wednesday, upon his return from selection, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Iberian media goes even further by affirming that the new release clause for the 28-year-old midfielder will increase from 400 to 500 million euros. Enough to dissuade the interests of other European clubs…

An indisputable starter at FC Barcelona since his arrival in 2019 from Ajax, Frenkie de Jong has taken part in 267 meetings with the Spanish giant, for a total of 19 goals and 24 assists. He has also won two La Liga (2023 and 2025), two Spanish Cups (2021 and 2025) and two Spanish Super Cups (2023 and 2025).
