Frenkie de Jong and the renewal proposal
Frenkie de Jong is not going through his best moment as a Barça player. The Dutch footballer enjoys ownership, but is not satisfied with his situation at the Barcelona club. The feelings are not positive, and Barça has proposed a downward renewal.
The importance of De Jong at Barça
De Jong was one of the great signings at the end of the Josep Maria Bartomeu era in Barça’s presidency. However, the Dutchman has been losing relevance within the Barcelona team and is no longer as decisive as before. Now there are other midfielders who are more essential.
The renewal proposal
The sports management of Barça would have already presented a renewal proposal to De Jong for three more seasons, until 2029. However, he would be paid less money to try to adjust to the club’s budgets.
De Jong’s decision
De Jong, who had expressed his desire to continue at Barça last summer, is now considering other options and has not yet responded to the proposal presented by the Barcelona club. He is willing to listen to offers from other clubs and assess whether it is better to stay in Barcelona or try other options.
De Jong’s future at Barça
Barça is in a complicated financial situation and needs solutions. The possibility of continuing with De Jong, but with a salary reduction, or considering his sale at a higher price, are scenarios that are considered. It seems likely that De Jong is in no rush to renew, and Barça could consider selling him this coming summer.
