Barcelona’s summer business is already heating up as they aim to finalise key squad decisions before pre-season begins.
With Hansi is expected to have full influence over contract talks and transfer priorities.
One of the club’s top renewal targets has already resumed training after injury and remains pivotal to their midfield.
Sources close to the club suggest that a major breakthrough could be on the cards in the coming days.
According to Gerard Romero, Frenkie de Jong has reportedly asked his legal team to terminate the contract of his agent, Ali Dursun — a move that could significantly speed up his contract extension with Barcelona.
The Dutch midfielder has become increasingly frustrated with Dursun, who had been demanding excessive commissions and stalling renewal talks with the club.
Barcelona had received a green light from Joan Laporta to push for an extension well before the transfer window opened, but Dursun’s involvement had proven to be a consistent obstacle.
With Frenkie de Jong’s current deal set to expire in 2026, Barca have been eager to avoid a situation where he could leave on a free next year.
Now, with his agent out of the picture, club officials are hopeful that fresh talks can proceed more smoothly.
The midfielder’s desire to stay at Camp Nou has never been in doubt.

The plan now is to secure De Jong’s renewal before the end of the month so Barcelona can shift focus to other transfer targets — particularly a new forward.
Getting the Dutchman’s signature would be a major statement of intent for the Catalans, especially at a time when financial constraints continue to dictate most of their decisions.
If all goes well, Barcelona could begin the new season with their midfield sorted and their star man fully committed.
A bold step from Frenkie de Jong could now prove the difference between prolonged uncertainty and a swift resolution.
