Each Sport: Barcelona hopes to complete the contract renewal with De Jong as soon as possible, but players may cause obstacles

According to "Every Sport", Barcelona hopes to complete the contract renewal with De Jong as soon as possible, but may cause obstacles due to players changing agents.

Although both sides were willing to continue to cooperate, the negotiations were in a state of stagnation. De Jong's current contract will expire on June 30, 2026, and the club hopes to extend his contract immediately. The player himself also intends to continue for two years to 2028, however, the process has become complicated due to his change of agent. De Jong left his long-term partner Ali Durson this summer, and the new agent is likely to be Zahavi. The change has not yet taken effect, which has disturbed Barcelona, who is eager to complete the renewal.

Sports management and head coach Frick both believe that De Jong is an indispensable member of the team and hopes that he can continue to stay in the team. De Jong now has a stable playing time in the team and is also one of the captains.

In the past few seasons, De Jong has been placed in the transfer market, and Manchester United has also offered a high price to buy the midfielder who spent 80 million euros to introduce. Since Frick took over, De Jong's performance has improved significantly. After returning from injury, he has become a main player and has occupied an important place in the fiercely competitive midfield position.

Barcelona is eager to resolve the matter as soon as possible, because from January next year, De Jong will be free to negotiate new contracts with other clubs. This is a situation that the club management wants to avoid.

Following Yamal's highly anticipated renewal, it is next to deal with the renewal of De Jong and Eric Garcia, whose contract will expire in 2026. However, for the latter, the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement.
