He has been out at times, he has seen the renewal offer withdrawn, but everything has changed in recent weeks. Hansi Flick has brought back Frenkie de Jong and considers that his continuity at Barça is key for the coming years. His contract ends in 2026, and he has asked President Laporta to make an effort to ensure he stays longer at Camp Nou.
Sport has revealed that talks have already begun with Frenkie de Jong's agents to negotiate his renewal. In this regard, with Laporta's approval, Deco met with Ali Dursun on February 19, presenting him with a new renewal proposal. The previous one had been considered expired at Barça, due to the Dutchman's passivity in responding for so long.
Frenkie de Jong: 3 More Years and Same Salary
The mentioned information indicates that the new proposal for De Jong bets on his continuity for three more seasons, offering him very positive salary conditions. In this regard, he would earn the same salary he is currently receiving, between 18 and 19 million gross per season. This means he wouldn't reach 10 "kilos" net.
The main difference from his current contract is that none of the deferred salary left by Bartomeu would be considered. In 2020, several deferrals were signed in his last renewal, leaving a salary too high for Frenkie de Jong.
At FC Barcelona, they expect a response from Frenkie de Jong in the coming weeks. He has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, and if he rejects it, the decision would be made to transfer him in the summer. There is optimism since his situation in the team has changed with the arrival of Hansi Flick, who has given him more importance.
Frenkie de Jong Wants to Continue at Barça
Focusing on the figure of Frenkie de Jong, he himself also bets on his continuity at Barça. For some time now, he had the feeling that they wanted to get rid of him due to his high salary. But this has changed with the importance Hansi Flick is giving him and the proposal he has received to renew.
Everything seems to indicate that Frenkie de Jong and Barça could reach an agreement for his renewal, adjusting his current salary and leaving aside the famous deferred salary. This would be a double great news for Laporta, who would free up part of the wage bill and make Hansi Flick happy.
