In the midst of much talk that Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona will extend their relationship after the end of the season, it seems that the Dutchman is willing to place his money where his mouth is. The 27-year-old is currently in negotiations with the Blaugrana about a new deal.
Only six months ago De Jong from Barcelona seemed a certainty this summer, with the signing of € 83 million by his own fans. Struggling to return from an injury at that time, and with his contract in 2026, and little sign of a new deal that is being offered – Barcelona had withdrawn their previous offer – it seemed that director of Football Deco would look for a new home for De Jong in the summer.
The will of Manchester United, long-term pursuers of De Jong and Liverpool were associated with De Jong, in the meantime it was also talking that Barcelona had contacted Saudi Arabia to see if the Middle Eastern power would be interested in De Jong. While a move to Saudi Arabia never seemed to be on the maps for him, Sport now says that he has definitively rejected an offer to move to Al-Eittihad, who were willing to set up an important range of contract for him.
It is worth noting that their technical secretary Ramon aircraft, formerly in Barcelona, ​​has already signed the talented younger Unai Hernandez from the Blaugrana this year. Manager Hansi Flick has been the key to bring De Jong and Barcelona back together, to breathe new life into the Dutchman and ask Barcelona to make a financial effort to keep him off because he cruces him crucial in the future.
De Jong has had a mixed time in Barcelona since his relocation of big money from Ajax, and many Barcelona fans were ready to continue his by the end of last season. Although he had trouble dominating games on fashion that some had expected, he seems to be at his best in a shirt by Barcelona in 2025, a common theme under film this season.
