Few players have divided opinion Barcelona as much as the Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong in recent years, and for some time there has been a lack of clarity about its future. De Jong has a little more than 18 months left on his Barcelona deal, but finally there seems to be some information about his intentions.
Ace for Reliefde Jong's agents have informed the club that his intention is to stay at the club beyond the end of his current contract, which expires in 2026.

The main point of attack will be Barcelona's wage offer in all likelihood. Currently their best-paid player, the Catalan giants intend to cut his salary by almost half, offering him a four-year deal where he will earn little more than what he currently makes in two seasons. They feel that their salary does not add up to their contributions.
One of the most interesting things to watch will be his playing time. The 27-year-old showed what he is capable of during the Clasico, but the reality is that he will have to beat one of Dani Olmo, Pedri or Marc Casado to break into the team, something that seems a long way off. . All the same, the Dutchman has recently returned from injury, and returns to sharpness, while Casado, the most likely to fall, is in the form of his life.
