Sport says Barcelona are putting pressure on Frenkie De Jong to sign a new deal and commit to his future with the club.
De Jong current deal expires in 2026 but Barca want him committed until the summer of 2028 with the sporting director Deco pushing to reach an agreement with the midfielder before the end of the season.
However Barca hopes are not because they want to keep players the club is looking to reduce his salary to reduce their wages and allow the club to register players. New. For now De Jong representatives do not want to enter into negotiations.
The Dutchman remains Barca highest paid player and the club continue to find ways to break free from the burden he places on their salaries.
It could all end with De Jong being sold in the summer if Barca fail to reach an agreement with the player. Barca still believe they can easily get 100 million for Frenkie considering they have been offered a lot in the past especially from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The only problem Barca will have in their plans is the players themselves. If De Jong does not want to leave Barca will not be able to force him not to leave as was the case in the summer of 2022.
