It has been one of the most discussed topics in recent years, but it seems that there is already a final decision regarding Frenkie de Jong. After all this time in which rumors placed him outside Barça, the Dutchman has publicly confirmed that he will renew his contract as a culer. This contract ends in 2026, but both parties plan to renew the contract that binds them this very summer.
"I'm going to renew with Barça"
In statements to "oetbal Zone, Frenkie de Jong has been clear and forceful: his future is to continue at FC Barcelona. "I think I'm going to renew with Barça. I can't be 100% sure, but if everything goes well, it will happen. My intention is to renew this summer, but we'll see what happens. It's a negotiation and you can't say when," he pointed out.
In this regard, Frenkie de Jong concluded: "The important thing is that both parties want it and I think we'll reach an agreement."
A key issue that must be solved in the coming weeks is the footballer's separation from his agent, Ali Dursun. The relationship has been broken for some time and the Dutchman is negotiating the termination of his contractual bond. After that, he himself will negotiate his continuity with FC Barcelona for the coming seasons.
Maximum happiness in Frenkie de Jong's family
After a long time in which it seemed he was halfway out of Barça, everything has changed for Frenkie de Jong. The arrival of Hansi Flick has been key, as he has given him maximum trust and the leadership he had been asking for. Years ago, his transfer to Manchester United was even agreed upon, but in the end, the deal didn't move forward.
The main "culprit" for that was his wife, Mikky Kiemeney. At all times, she chose to continue living in Barcelona, where they have built their family. The news of his renewal couldn't have been better received at home, with everyone happy to continue living where they are now.
The plan is clear and the coming weeks will be important. Frenkie de Jong wants to continue at Barça and now the Catalan club also wants to renew his contract. Both parties are moving in the same direction and it won't be difficult to reach a final agreement.
