One of the objectives that Barcelona has set for the coming months, once the winter market has concluded, is the renewal and adaptation of the Frenkie de Jong contract. An action similar to the one that was done at the time with Ter Stegen and that culminated a few days ago with his renewal until 2028. However, this operation is not going to be as simple, if it is finally done, as that of the goalkeeper. German.
From the outset, Barcelona has not yet made any official move. He intends to discuss the Dutchman’s contract, but so far no meeting has taken place. And the player is in no hurry to activate this theme. It must be taken into account that De Jong’s commitment ends in June 2026. And he has a succulent contract since a lot of money remains pending payment. This season he receives a guaranteed fixed salary between base salary, deferral and bonus that exceeds 27 million gross.

The player knows that at the conclusion of his contract he can sign with any team and take all the money if he arrives with the freedom letter. The club, for its part, which The aim is to give you security by extending your contract, but he knows that he cannot pay the figures that De Jong currently receives. And the situation is not the same as Ter Stegen since the German was signing his last big contract at Barcelona since he will finish at 36 years old.
For these reasons, a quick solution to this renewal is not foreseen. What is clear is that De Jong is playing at a very high level. He is becoming more and more important in the Barça game and since Busquets left he is becoming the Barça orchestra conductor. It is not going to be easy for the salary to be reduced, it was already done at the time, and because of everything that happened last summer.
