According to Sport, Barcelona is stepping up negotiations in hopes of completing a contract extension with Frenkie de Jong before the end of this year.
The report states that after De Jong finally recovered from his injury and returned to the team, Barcelona accelerated the pace of negotiations. Considering that De Jong’s current contract expires in 2026, the club is determined not to let him enter the final year of his contract. With both parties hoping to complete the extension, the club is confident that an agreement can be reached soon.
Previously, Barcelona had attempted to sell De Jong several times, but De Jong consistently expressed his determination to stay at Barcelona. The club has yet to settle the outstanding salary owed to De Jong due to delayed payments and hopes to convince De Jong to agree to extend the original payment schedule.
