Barça NewsBarcelona prepared to sell club captain if he does not respond to renewal offer soon

Barcelona are currently facing a critical situation regarding Frenkie de Jong’s future at the club.

In that regard, a report from SPORT confirms that if the Dutch midfielder does not respond to the club’s offer for a contract renewal, Barcelona will be forced to consider his departure in the upcoming summer.

De Jong has become one of the club’s most expensive players following his contract extension during the pandemic, alongside players like Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Gerard Pique, and Clement Lenglet.

His total cost to the club is estimated at around €35 million, although this figure does not represent his exact salary. The sum includes his salary, deferred payments, and amortization, which De Jong himself clarified in an interview.

Another key factor driving Barcelona’s decision is the length of De Jong’s current contract. Signed until 2026, the club now faces a dilemma. If he is to remain at the club beyond this season, he would need to agree to a new renewal.
