Dutch star Frenke de Jong revealed his intention to extend his contract with Barcelona, stressing that his desire to stay inside “Camp Nou” represents the primary motivation for taking this step, at a time when the reports had suggested that he left the Catalan club during the summer Mercato.
De Jong returned to confirm his continuity, noting that the negotiations are going in a positive direction with the club’s management to renew his contract that extends until June 2026, amid clear support from the fans and the management of the team.
De Jong cuts suspicion of certainty
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Frenke de Jong said: “I want to continue in Barcelona, and the club also wants this, and an agreement is usually reached in such cases. I hope it will be done soon. ”
This statement comes after weeks of controversy over his future, as some reports indicated the possibility of selling it to support the budget or to reduce expenditures, but the technical level that he presented after recovering from the injury contributed to changing the perception towards him inside the club’s corridors.
Public support and technical adherence
De Jong injury in the middle of the season affected his presence, but he returned to participate in several influential matches, during which he appeared at a fixed level that gave the team a balance in the middle of the field. Barcelona fans, through the communication sites and in the stands, expressed their support for its continuation, which contributed to accelerating the idea of renewal.
According to sources close to the club, Xavi Hernandez was among the most supportive of the player’s survival, due to his important role in building attacks and distributing the ball.
