Barcelona will do what they can to pay less money Frenkie de Jong next season, by hook or by crook. The Dutchman is set to be their highest-paid player again next season, having earned just under €25 million this season.
His already high wages have been inflated by salary deferrals agreed during the pandemic with president Josep Maria Bartomeu, and so far, Barcelona have been able to sell de Jong in a new deal. As per Jijantes, brought by Sport, Barcelona made a new contract offer to de Jong to extend his deal and lower his wages dramatically, which he is now considering. His new deal will run until 2029.

The Blaugreana will also hear offers for de Jong this summer, knowing that they will have to make at least one major sale, and that his salary would be one of their biggest costs off the books. While he remains a key player for Barcelonait is not enough to reach the heights that money would like, and that their salaries would suggest.
As he is out of contract in 2026, de Jong has a lot of power if he does not decide to renew his deal. It would be one of the best gains in European football if it were to see his deal up to that point, which can strain relations with Barcelona, but after the reports that he is open to a move, then he could hit free agency at age. of 2028.
