Barcelona Director Deco Confirms Frenkie de Jongs New Deal Near Completion
Barcelona sporting director Deco has confirmed that the club is close to finalizing a new contract for midfielder Frenkie de Jong. According to Deco, negotiations had been delayed due to recent changes in de Jong’s representation, but the matter has now been resolved, allowing both sides to move forward smoothly.
“Frenkie had some changes regarding his agents, and we waited for that to be resolved,” Deco stated. “Now that everything is in order, we’re finalizing the new agreement.”
De Jong, a key figure in Barcelona’s midfield since joining from Ajax in 2019, is expected to extend his stay at Camp Nou amid interest from top European clubs. The Dutch international has remained a vital part of Xavi’s plans, contributing significantly to the team’s consistency and possession-based play.
The new contract will likely include improved terms, reflecting de Jong’s importance to Barcelona’s ongoing rebuild and long-term sporting vision.
