FC Barcelona has secured the future of its key midfielder by finalizing a crucial contract extension with a key player.
Amid a season of transformation under Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants have prioritized stabilizing their squad, ensuring that key figures remain integral to their long-term vision.
After intense negotiations and a shared commitment to swift resolution, Barcelona has finalized a deal that reinforces its ambitions in La Liga and beyond.
This agreement not only strengthens the team’s core but also sends a clear message about their dedication to building around trusted talent.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona has reached an agreement with Frenkie de Jong to extend his contract until 2029.
The 27-year-old Dutch midfielder, whose current deal was set to expire at the end of the season, has been a priority for the club.
Negotiations faced delays due to complications with his former agent, Ali Dursun, but progressed smoothly after de Jong appointed new representation.
A pivotal face-to-face meeting weeks ago accelerated the process, with de Jong’s camp expressing his eagerness to stay and facilitate a seamless renewal.
The agreement reflects mutual trust, with both parties working in harmony to finalize the deal.
De Jong has already approved the contract, and Barcelona’s general director, Manel del Rio, has signed off on the operation.
Only the signatures of president Joan Laporta and vice-president Rafa Yuste, along with other board members, remain, with completion expected within a week.
The club and player moved swiftly to resolve past tensions surrounding his contract, ensuring a smooth exchange of documents.
Under Flick, de Jong has proven indispensable, anchoring the midfield with his vision and versatility.
This renewal secures a cornerstone of Barcelona’s project, providing stability as they navigate their return to Spotify Camp Nou and aim for domestic and European success.
With de Jong committed until 2029, Barcelona’s midfield future looks brighter than ever.
