Each sports: De Jong will renew his contract with Barcelona for four years, and some of his salary will be shared and paid in the next few years
According to the Spanish media "Daily Sports Daily", De Jong will renew his contract with Barcelona for four years, and some of his salary will be shared and paid in the next few years.
Barcelona chairman Laporta explained this week that De Jong's contract renewal is completely on track. After months of negotiations, the two sides have basically reached an agreement. Because Barcelona has successfully built a new contract, paying part of the salary by deferring payment will create salary space, which may be crucial to signing Nico Williams.
Negotiations were not easy, as De Jong accumulated a large amount of deferred wages that should have been paid this season. It all comes from the past, when he renewed his contract until 2026 and agreed to postpone payments to ease the cash flow pressure in Barcelona. All this payment should be paid in the current season, and the players have been reluctant to negotiate a new deferred payment.
The situation was on the verge of breakdown. So much so that De Jong's agent has not responded to Barcelona's latest contract renewal proposal for several months. At this time, De Jong himself stood up and assured the club that he wanted to stay in the team no matter what, and found a plan to reach this new contract without the participation of the agent. De Jong is resolving the termination matter with the broker. No news will be announced until the matter is completed, and this will happen in the short term.
Barcelona has basically agreed to a new four-year contract, and until 2029, DeJong's basic salary has increased slightly compared to before. It is also necessary to observe the restructuring of the arrears to be paid, which are likely to be shared in the coming years. This will significantly reduce the total salary of the first team, as De Jong signed a contract for the 2025/26 season to be the highest salary on the team.
De Jong's attitude is very positive and is complete with De Ke's understanding. The tense summer two years ago and the unhappiness that management had generated was a thing of the past, when the club had planned to sell De Jong to Manchester United for a large amount of revenue.
De Jong's determination to stay at Barcelona for the best years of his career is crucial to his contract renewal. De Jong has always been eager to play for Barcelona and has always hoped to stay. Especially Flick's role. After taking office, Frick assured him that he would be a key player in his tactical system and would not be on any leaving roster. Frick eventually granted him all command at the core of the organization, improving his performance. Frick put a lot of pressure to ensure the agreement was finally reached.
