Flick urges Barcelona board to extend De Jong’s contract

Despite missing the start of the season due to injury, Frenkie de Jong is steadily reclaiming his importance in Barcelona’s midfield. Head coach Hansi Flick is pleased with the Dutchman and wants to keep him at the club long-term.

Details: According to Diario Sport, Flick has sent a clear message to Barcelona’s management that he wants De Jong to sign a new contract. The player himself is also open to staying at the club.

However, much will depend on financial negotiations, particularly regarding salary, as De Jong is currently one of the highest-paid players in the squad.

Reminder: Earlier, Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny humorously assessed his performances for the Blaugrana.
