Barca News
Frenkie de Jong’s ancestry at FC Barcelona has been increasing. After the club put him up for sale the last two summers to make cash, the truth is that the player trained at Ajax established himself last year.
He was very important in Xavi’s drawing and took a step forward in terms of leadership and performance. For the Terrassa coach, he is a pillar and he is expected to have the same or even higher minutes this coming season.
If yesterday we commented that there is an almost closed agreement with Marc-André Ter Stegen to renew his contract, the club has already started talks to do the same with Frenkie.
The idea is similar to the formula achieved with the German goalkeeper . Extend the relationship and defer the salary of the first seasons so that he starts to earn more towards the end of the contract.
A maneuver to generate ‘fair play’ and to be able to carry out the operations that are in mind to complete the squad and respond to the requests of Xavi Hernández. As we have been reporting, the right-back, the midfielder with a goal and an attacker, in this order of priority.
It should be remembered that Frenkie ends his contract in 2026, when he will be 29 years old. He is at his point of maturity, happy in Barcelona and, in principle, predisposed to reach an agreement that can help the club in the current context. He is one of the highest salaries in the current first team.
