The future of Frenkie de Jong is once again causing tension at FC Barcelona. The Dutch midfielder, whose contract ends this summer, has not yet closed his renewal with the club.

While talks progress slowly, the Saudi Pro League has burst onto the scene and is preparing a proposal that would triple his current salary at Camp Nou.

Frenkie de Jong and the pressure from the Saudi Pro League

The interest from Saudi Arabia is not new, but this time the figures are staggering. Several teams from the Saudi Pro League aim to make Frenkie de Jong one of the pillars of their competition and are willing to offer him a historic contract.

In contrast, Barcelona has presented a long-term agreement, adapted to the club's new salary structure. Joan Laporta and Deco believe his continuity is essential for the project, but they admit that competing with the Arab offers economically is nearly impossible.

The player's commitment to FC Barcelona

Despite the rumors, Frenkie de Jong himself has reiterated several times his desire to stay at Camp Nou. The 28-year-old midfielder identifies with the project, has a strong relationship with Hansi Flick, and is respected in the team as one of the quiet leaders.

However, his circle acknowledges that they are evaluating all offers. At his age, the Dutchman is at a key point in his career, where he could sign one of the most financially important contracts.

Continuity or challenge in Saudi Arabia

The debate surrounding Frenkie de Jong reflects the dilemma between sporting ambition and economic opportunity. While he remains an elite midfielder in Europe, capable of making a difference in the Champions League and the Spanish League, the Saudi Pro League offers the chance to multiply his earnings.

Barça does not want to lose a player who has played over 200 official matches wearing the blue and garnet shirt and has been instrumental in recent title victories. Additionally, his stats show his value: 91% pass accuracy last season and an average of 8 recoveries per game in the local league.

The club is confident that the outcome will be positive. "We want Frenkie to remain the heart of this team," said Joan Laporta in a recent interview. The sports management is working on finalizing a deal before the winter transfer window and preventing Saudi pressure from gaining ground.

The player himself understands that at FC Barcelona, he can continue competing at the highest level, something he would hardly find in Arabia. The story between De Jong and Barça seems destined to continue, although the ending is still in the player's hands.
