Frenkie de Jong Contract Renewal: Talks Temporarily on Hold — But No Panic at Barça
Barcelona remains confident about renewing Frenkie de Jong’s contract, despite a brief pause in negotiations. The Dutch midfielder’s current deal runs until June 2026, but discussions about an extension have stalled due to a technical issue: De Jong is currently without an official agent, following the end of his relationship with long-time representative Ali Dursun.
This means the club has no authorized intermediary to conduct formal talks with. However, sources close to both parties stress that there’s no conflict or tension. Both Barcelona and De Jong are on the same page — they want him to remain a key figure in the club’s long-term project.
Frenkie has repeatedly expressed his satisfaction at the club, and Barcelona sees him as a central piece in Hansi Flick’s midfield moving forward. Once his representation is sorted, negotiations are expected to resume quickly and smoothly, with a deal that reflects his value to the team.
