FC Barcelona: it's official, Frenkie de Jong has made his decision about his future!

FC Barcelona is on the verge of wrapping up a crucial piece of business for its future: the contract extension of Frenkie de Jong. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, the Dutch midfielder has given his verbal agreement to extend his stay until June 2029. The deal is already sealed in every detail, pending only the final administrative steps.

De Jong's current contract, which runs until 2026, was originally due to be renegotiated during the season, but both the Catalan club and the player have accelerated talks in recent weeks.

"Yes, in principle, I will extend my contract with Barcelona," the man himself confirmed when asked about the situation.

Barça’s sporting director, Deco, also confirmed the development:

"Frenkie has always been clear with us. It’s not a question of money, but of formalities. We're in the home stretch."

Having arrived in Barcelona in the summer of 2019 from Ajax Amsterdam, De Jong has become a cornerstone of the Blaugrana midfield. In 267 matches, he has scored 19 goals and provided 24 assists, winning two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and two Spanish Super Cups. At 28, he is set to commit his long-term future to Barça, embodying a project he has been central to for the past six years.
