Frenkie de Jong is ready to end the uncertainty surrounding his future in Barcelona by engaging in a contract extension, said a report.
De Jong approaches the last 12 months of his current contract and has long been to leave Camp Nou as part of Barcelona’s attempts to reduce costs and collect enough money to finance a wave of transfer of summer.
Barcelona withdrew a contractual offer from De Jong earlier this season after the Dutchman did not respond to the proposal, apparently guaranteeing a separation in summer, but the manager Hansi Flick would have convinced the managers to reconsider their position.
Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo Now State de Jong is ready to complete the U-turn and accept a new contract.
De Jong would be delighted with his role under Flick, who has restored him in the initial alignment in recent weeks after his return from injury, and can consider long and successful the future under German in Catalonia.
However, discussions on an extension are not imminent. De Jong and its representatives would prefer to wait a handful of months to allow Dutch to further improve its shape. Barcelona is happy to wait until the end of the season, which has always been their plan anyway.
If De Jong extends his agreement, he will be the last of a growing line of players from the first team to put pen on paper. The duo of central defender Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo recently signed new contracts respectively operating until 2029 and 2031, with the talented midfielder duo Pedri and Gavi according to the costume.
Barcelona also hopes to link Jules Kounde to a long -term contract extension, ending any possibility that the French go to the Premier League to join Chelsea. The Blues admired the versatile defender of several years, going back to his stay in Seville, and have already been for an offer of 100 million euros (83.3 million pounds sterling).
