In recent years, the future of Frenkie de Jong as a Barcelona player has regularly sparked speculation, with many reports claiming that he might leave as early as this summer. However, the midfielder is still in the Catalan capital, and his stay could extend for many more years.
Details. According to Cadena SER, Blaugrana's head coach Hansi Flick has convinced the Dutch footballer to remain at the club.
De Jong himself has made it clear that he is very eager to sign a new contract. Negotiations, led by Barcelona's sporting director Deco, are expected to commence in the coming weeks.
The concern that Barcelona has regarding de Jong is his current salary. His wages are unfavorable for the club, which is grappling with serious financial issues, so they must attempt to negotiate a pay cut during these planned talks.
If this cannot be arranged, problems may arise for all parties involved.
Reminder. It was previously reported that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah offered himself to Barcelona.
