De Jong is under contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2026. The club management would like to continue with him for longer, but there will be no more offers this season. “We are not going to do any extensions this season,” Deco says SPORT. “We don’t talk about that. We talk to agents and we are going to upgrade the contracts little by little.”
“Frenkie is a great player, it ultimately depends on him and the club,” the Portuguese emphasizes. “I can only say that he is a great player and I like to have great players under contract.” It is not only De Jong that he has to wait. “Others are in a similar situation: Pedri, Raphinha, Ferran Torres…,” he sums up. “We will take turns upgrading the contracts without running into problems.”
