Frenkie de Jong renews his contract with Barcelona until 2029 after financial concessions
Barcelona officially announces the renewal of Dutch star Frenkie de Jong’s contract until 2029 after lengthy negotiations, including a salary reduction and rescheduling of deferred payments to support the club’s financial stability.
FC Barcelona has officially announced the contract extension of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong until the summer of 2029, putting an end to months of speculation linking him with a possible departure 🔵🔴✨.
The new deal came after extended negotiations between the club’s management and the player’s agent, resulting in de Jong agreeing to reduce his base salary and restructure his deferred wages from the COVID-19 period — a move that highlights his commitment to Barcelona’s project under German coach Hansi Flick 💪⚽.
De Jong’s previous contract was set to expire in June 2026, which would have allowed him to negotiate with other clubs starting in January. However, club president Joan Laporta managed to convince him to stay until 2029 as part of Barcelona’s long-term plan to secure its key players.
According to Marca, the new agreement aligns with Barcelona’s efforts to comply with La Liga’s Financial Fair Play regulations while maintaining a balanced wage structure within the squad.
The 28-year-old midfielder had received lucrative offers from major clubs, most notably Manchester United, which attempted to sign him in the summer of 2022 for €75 million. Nevertheless, de Jong chose to remain in Catalonia, affirming that “Barcelona has always been my childhood dream” 💙🏟️.
With this renewal, Frenkie de Jong continues his journey with the Blaugrana, solidifying his role as a key figure in Barcelona’s midfield as the team strives to regain its dominance both domestically and in Europe.
