The new agreement could run until the summer of 2028. Barcelona midfielder Frankie de Jong could soon sign a new contract with Barcelona. This was reported by AS.

According to the source, the management of the Catalan club is negotiating with the 26-year-old Dutchman to extend his contract until the summer of 2028. It is noted that Barcelona asks the footballer to accept a partial salary reduction, but promises him that it will increase with each next season.
