"World Sports Daily" published an article reporting De Jong's contract renewal.

Barcelona has no doubts about De Jong's upcoming contract renewal. The Dutch midfielder has not completely cut off its cooperation with Ajax-era agent Ali Durson. Before De Jong officially appoints a new representative, the club cannot advance the renewal negotiations, but the two sides have a consensus on extending the existing contract that expires in June 2026, and the atmosphere is calm and harmonious.

The current contract signed in October 2020 was a proposal by De Jong to extend the original 2024 expiration contract to 2026 during his term of office in Bartomeu. Due to the economic crisis caused by the epidemic, his salary adopts an increasing payment structure. In the summer of 2022, although Manchester United is coached by former mentor Teng Hach and offers a generous offer, De Jong has always regarded Barcelona as his first choice.

After getting rid of the right ankle injury plagued by the 2023-24 season, the Barcelona third captain regained its core position under Frick. The German coach's firm trust in forming a double midfielder with Pedri completely reversed the fans' attitude towards him. Now Derong has won unanimous praise from his teammates for his outstanding performance on the field and locker room leadership.
