Barcelona midfield star finally ends contract saga; Renewal agreed until 2029 | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have placed a strong emphasis on securing contract renewals in recent months, with the club determined to ensure that its most important players remain tied to the project for the foreseeable future.

One of the key names in this regard has been Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder has always expressed his desire to continue at Barça, but his contract situation had long remained unresolved. Now, however, there is finally clarity.

According to SPORT, an agreement has been reached between the player and the club, with De Jong set to sign a new deal that will keep him at the Camp Nou until at least 2029.

This development marks a significant breakthrough for both parties. De Jong’s quality and influence in midfield are undisputed, and his decision to commit his future to Barça provides stability for Hansi Flick’s sporting project.

After years of uncertainty surrounding one of the club’s most complicated contracts, the matter is finally nearing resolution.

The negotiations this time have been swift and efficient. With his new agent, lawyer Sebastien Ledure, talks advanced smoothly and without setbacks.

The harmony between the two sides stood in stark contrast to previous years, when discussions under De Jong’s former agent, Ali Dursun, often stalled and forced the club back to square one.

Over the past few weeks, meetings held both in person and by phone helped accelerate progress. A recent meeting proved crucial, during which De Jong’s representatives reiterated the midfielder’s wish to renew quickly and without creating obstacles, a stance warmly received by the club.

So advanced are the talks that the process of exchanging documents is already underway. De Jong has given his full approval to the agreement, while the club’s general director, Manel del Río, has already signed off on the operation.

The only signatures still pending are those of President Joan Laporta, Vice President Rafa Yuste, and several board members, which are expected to be completed within the coming days.

Barring any last-minute surprises, the official announcement should arrive within a week. With this renewal, Barcelona secure the long-term continuity of a player who has become one of the cornerstones of their midfield and a leader on the pitch.

After years of back-and-forth uncertainty, Frenkie de Jong will finally extend his stay in Barcelona, providing a huge boost for the club and its future ambitions.
