**Arsenal** has marked in red the name of [**Frenkie de Jong**](https://www.transfermarkt.es/frenkie-de-jong/profil/spieler/326330) for the upcoming summer transfer market, as that is when his current contract with [**FC Barcelona**](https://www.fichajes.net/en/equipos/fc-barcelona.html) ends.

**Mikel Arteta** is a big admirer of the playing style of the 28-year-old Dutch midfielder, who had a great season under Hansi Flick and would be an ideal addition for the Gunners.

The contractual situation of **Frenkie de Jong** is creating excitement in London, as he could become a free agent in 2026, and his continuity at Camp Nou is not guaranteed.

**An ideal reinforcement for Arsenal's midfield**

Arteta sees in **Frenkie de Jong** a perfect complement for the midfield where he already has **Martín Zubimendi**, **Martin Odegaard**, and **Declan Rice**. His ability to distribute the ball, break lines, and maintain control in high-stakes matches makes him a profile that is hard to find in the market.

The Spanish coach has built a solid midfield but is looking to broaden the rotation to compete at the highest level in the Premier League and Champions League.

**Complex renewal at FC Barcelona**

**FC Barcelona** aims to extend the player's contract, which expires in 2026, but this requires him to accept a significant salary reduction. Additionally, the Dutch player seeks to part ways with his current agent, Ali Dursun, with whom he has a contract until the same date.

These factors have complicated the negotiation and opened the door for his future to be debated between continuing as the leader in Barcelona's midfield or seeking a new challenge outside of Spain.

In the last season, **Frenkie de Jong** played in over 40 official matches, standing out for his reliability in ball distribution and his ability to sustain play during transitions. His stats and international experience make him a top-level player, valued by clubs in search of key players at the elite level.

Sources close to Arsenal confirm that the London club will monitor his situation closely in the coming months, awaiting developments in negotiations with Barcelona.

**What could be next for Frenkie de Jong**

If the renewal is not finalized before next summer, **Arsenal** would be in a position to negotiate with the player without restrictions, making his arrival at the Emirates Stadium easier.

For Arteta, signing **Frenkie de Jong** would mean adding one of the most complete midfielders in European football, a move that could make a difference in his medium-term project and offer an individual boost to the player as he goes to a league of high competitive level.
