Barcelona officials, headed by Joan Laporta and Deco, the team’s sporting director, are seeking to renew the team’s star’s contract and benefit from his services for as long as possible.
Despite what the team has been going through recently, Laporta made this decision due to the importance of this player in the Catalan team, so Laporta quickly took this step to prevent widespread rumors about the player’s departure.
In light of this, reports from the Spanish newspaper “Sport” revealed that Barcelona took the decision to renew the contract of a star and one of the team’s leaders, the Dutch player Frenkie de Jong, whose contract will expire at the Camp Nou in June 2026.
Barca wants to keep De Jong, who is considered one of the team’s mainstays, for as long as possible, as the Dutchman is considered one of the best midfielders in the world, and the player is also enjoying living in Barcelona with his family.
The newspaper added that Laporta wants to cut off the Premier League teams that aspire to include the player, led by Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, so he took a pre-emptive step to cut off the money of the Premier League clubs that want to tempt the player.
