FC Barcelona Proposes Contract Renewal with Lower Salary to De Jong
With the winter transfer window closed, FC Barcelona is actively planning its squad for the upcoming season, and the urgent cases include Araujo and De Jong. Both players’ contracts extend until 2026, and the club aims to extend their agreements, albeit with reduced offers due to financial considerations.
As reported by ‘Jijantes,’ the club’s management has already presented an extension offer to the Dutch midfielder, which would keep him at Camp Nou for an additional three seasons until 2029. However, unlike previous summers, De Jong is reportedly open to considering offers from other clubs and has not yet responded to the proposal. The presented amounts are lower than what he currently earns, considering deferred payments from previous years.

Frenkie is carefully weighing his options. This operation would allow Barcelona to retain one of its key players while simultaneously reducing the team’s wage bill and addressing the financial constraints imposed by LaLiga’s Financial Fair Play regulations. The outcome of the negotiations remains uncertain, but the club is unwilling to improve its offer. While their preference is for De Jong to continue donning the Blaugrana colors, they would seriously consider any intriguing offers that come their way.
Reducing the Dutch midfielder’s wages is now a crucial condition for his continued presence at Camp Nou.
