In that match, De Jong dominated the midfield, delivering a level of performance rarely seen in his previous seasons at Camp Nou. He excelled at breaking lines of pressure, showed composure in his passing, and used his physical strength to lead the team during crucial moments. For Flick and the club, there is no longer any doubt: Frenkie is untouchable.
Although his current contract runs until June 2026, the club is seeking to renew it before entering its final year to avoid potential complications. According to sources close to the club, Laporta has informed the player’s camp of his firm intention to extend the contract until 2029, ensuring the long-term presence of one of the squad’s most vital assets.
For Hansi Flick, De Jong is a cornerstone of his future plans. He possesses excellent tactical awareness and versatility across multiple midfield roles. His ideal age and wealth of experience make him a natural leader in the club’s upcoming project.
This potential renewal will send a strong message to the transfer market: Barcelona remains capable of retaining its stars.
Despite lucrative offers De Jong received last summer from clubs like Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, he remained loyal to the Blaugrana. Now, the objective is clear: to finalize the extension as soon as possible.
