Frenkie de Jong Confirms Barcelona Contract Renewal Through 2028

Frenkie de Jong has confirmed that he intends to renew his contract with Barcelona, despite being in the final year of his current deal. Following Barcelona's 7-3 preseason victory over FC Seoul, De Jong stated he is very happy at the club and that both he and Barcelona are aligned on extending his stay, with reports indicating the new contract could last until 2028. The Dutch midfielder has been a key figure in Barcelona's midfield under Hansi Flick and has turned around his fortunes in 2025, becoming one of the team's leaders. Although there had been speculation about a transfer to Manchester United in 2022, De Jong rejected the move and now appears committed to continuing his career in Catalonia. Alongside De Jong, other players like Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia are also in the process of contract renewals. Despite some doubts due to his contract length and competition for his position, Barcelona is confident about securing De Jong's long-term future at the club.
