Contract with salary of €18-19 million

Barcelona are in talks to extend the contract with 27-year-old midfielder Frenkie de Jong. This was reported by Sport.es.

According to the source, last February, the Blaugrana's sporting director Deco met with representatives of the Dutch footballer and handed over a proposal for a new employment agreement. It is emphasized that the Catalan club is offering de Jong a three-year contract with a salary of € 18-19 million per year. Barcelona expects a response from the 27-year-old midfielder in the coming weeks.

At the same time, the player's new contract does not provide for payments that the club owes the player as deferred wages for the period of the 2020 pandemic.

This season, de Jong took part in 28 matches in all tournaments, in which he scored two goals and made one assist. The player's current employment agreement with the club is calculated until the summer of 2026. According to information provided on the Transfermarkt portal, the footballer's market value is €45 million.
