The renewal that Hansi Flick has DEMANDED of Barcelona

FC Barcelona is clear that Frenkie de Jong must be one of the pillars of the new project led by Hansi Flick. The Dutch midfielder, whose contract runs until 2026, has convinced the German coach with his performance during the final stretch of the last season, where he established himself as the starting midfielder ahead of fierce competition within the squad.

The Catalan club is determined to extend its bond with De Jong and has already put forward a proposal to extend his contract until 2028, with the option to add another year based on performance. If finalized, the Dutchman could wear the blaugrana shirt until the age of 32, completing a decade at the club since his arrival in 2019 from Ajax.

De Jong must resolve an issue before signing

However, as reported by MundoDeportivo, Barça faces an administrative obstacle. The player is still contractually linked to his current representative, Ali Dursun, with whom he is in a legal dispute. Until this situation is resolved, De Jong cannot appoint a new representative to formally negotiate his renewal, a matter that the club hopes to resolve soon.

From the offices of Camp Nou, they insist that Frenkie is fully committed to the project. The player, one of the current captains, wants to stay with the club and has communicated this to them. His role as a midfielder has been crucial, especially due to his ability to start the game, his improvement in defensive duties, and his excellent physical condition, all key aspects for Flick's style.

In a squad full of talent in midfield, securing De Jong's continuity has become a priority. Barça does not want to lose a player who has earned respect both on and off the pitch.
