Frenkie De Jong Confirms Intention to Sign New Barcelona Contract

Frenkie de Jong says he will sign a new contract with Barcelona. Fans are relieved after rumors about his future. The 28-year-old Dutch midfielder is happy at the club and expects a deal soon.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After Barcelona’s 7-3 win over FC Seoul in Asia, Frenkie de Jong told fans he plans to stay at the club. He hasn’t signed yet but made it clear he and Barcelona want to continue together. His current contract ends in June 2026. Recent reports indicate that the new deal will keep him at Barcelona until at least 2029, with an extra year possible.

BARCELONA’S CURRENT SITUATION

Barcelona start the season with coach Hansi Flick, who trusts De Jong. Last season, De Jong was a key player, often the captain, and improved in defense. He made 25 league appearances, scored two goals, and contributed three assists, helping Barcelona secure the title while finishing strong in various competitions. Barcelona finished first in La Liga, confirming their position as a leading force in Spanish football, and reached the Champions League semifinals. Their next match is a friendly against FC Tokyo before starting the league season against Mallorca, who finished mid-table last year. Barcelona are focused on maintaining their lead, as Real Madrid has been improving their squad this transfer window.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

With De Jong close to signing a new contract, Barcelona are securing their key players. Recent renewals for players like Jules Koundé, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal show the club’s plan for the future. De Jong ends rumors of moving to the Premier League and gives coach Flick a key player for his midfield plans. Fans can expect De Jong to be important in Barcelona’s hunt for trophies as the club aims to return to the top of Spanish and European football.
