Barcelona have been looking ahead to next summer's transfer window, with possible arrivals and departures both being considered by sporting director Deco, who will be responsible for the club's operations. Regarding the latter, Frenkie de Jong is expected to leave, especially if he does not sign a new contract at the end of the season.
De Jong's current contract expires in 2026, meaning he will only have 12 months left on his contract by next summer. Barcelona have no plans to lose him for free, and therefore an exit would be sought if he does not renew.
However, Sport says Hansi Flick does not want to lose de Jong, who he considers an excellent player despite the struggles he has had on a personal level this season.
The idea is that De Jong will gradually become more and more important for Barcelona as the season progresses, and this would increase his fame. He could show how important he is to the club, which could lead to a change in their position on his possible departure.
