Barcelona seems to have made little further progress when signing a new contract with Frenkie de Jong, even though he had concluded a deal for this summer. The hold -up is attributed to the threatening separation of De Jong by Agent Ali Dursun.
Earlier it was reported that De Jong has in principle agreed to Barcelona with Barcelona, but it seems that although they have the approval of the Dutchman for a deal, no contract has been edited. De Jong is from the contract next summer and can sign a contract with each club in just 4.5 months. With De Jong who wants to separate from Dursun, who, according to MD, has a contract with the Dutchman until 2026, he does not want the committee to go to his agent.
Barcelona would like to give De Jong a new deal until 2028, and recently he confirmed that although it was not signed, his intention was to renew his deal. Currently De Jong is one of the two best-paid players in the Barcelona team, and the Catalan daily says that their plan is to not only put De Jong's salary in line with other top earners, but also to postpone some of his wages.
The Blaugrana would like to renew De Jong, but will only do this on conditions that they think is honest. MD explains that the prospect of a departure is not the club, just like with Gavi, Marc Bernal and Marc Casado, they are more than in his position. Their expectation is that De Jong will eventually accept their conditions. It is also intimidated that no deal is imminent.
Last season, Casado spent the first half of the season as a starter in a deeper role, while Gavi was also used there last season. However, it was remarkable that Hansi Flick de Jong recovered in January in a starting role, almost without a doubt, when the Dutchman came back at full speed.
