Barça: De Jong responds to critics over his salary

Frenkie de Jong sets the record straight on his Barça salary

FC Barcelona can finally breathe a sigh of relief: one of the most sensitive issues of their internal transfer window has been resolved. Frenkie de Jong, whose contract was due to expire next June, has extended his stay in Catalonia until 2029. This is excellent news for the Blaugrana, as the Dutch midfielder has remained a key figure in the heart of the team since his arrival from Ajax Amsterdam in 2019.

During the ceremony organized to announce his contract extension, the player was keen to set the record straight regarding his salary, which has often been at the center of debate.

Frequently criticized for performances perceived as not matching his wages, De Jong now intends to silence the doubters on the pitch. This extension is part of Barça's ambition to stabilize its sporting project around key players and to reclaim its place at the top of European football.
