Since his return from injury, Frenkie de Jong (27 years old) has risen in power. The midfielder was even captain yesterday during the victory of FC Barcelona over the Benfica lawn in the 8th round of the Champions League (1-0), and provided with the captain's armband. This means the confidence granted by his coach, but also by all the components of the club. However, he arrived at the end of the contract in June 2026 and it is urgent to extend it … or to sell it.
An extension proposal was made to him a few days ago, including Sport Unveils details this Thursday. Deco presented the Dutch agent an offer of three additional seasons with the same salary currently received, between 18 and 19 M € gross per year. The time is optimistic on the side of management which presents this proposal as rather generous. De Jong has always considered Barça as his priority for the future, but he also knows that clubs, English in particular, court it.
