According to Le Monde Sport, Barcelona offered Frenkie de Jong a contract extension three months ago, but there has been no response so far. The Dutch international's contract expires in the summer of 2026, and if in the end De Jong chooses not to renew it, then Barcelona will consider paying him 100 million euros.
According to Le Monde Sport, Barcelona are currently pricing De Jong at a transfer fee of around €100 million, as they believe it is in line with what other clubs have spent on midfielders.
Chelsea, for example, paid Caicedo 11.5 billion euros, paid 12.1 billion euros. So Barcelona believe that even if the Dutchman chooses not to renew his contract, the club will be able to take him with a good **. At the moment, it seems that Chelsea and Manchester United may be willing to pay large sums of money to sign his club. At the same time, Manchester City is also interested in De Jong, it is reported that Manchester City wanted to sign him in 2019, and even Guardiola personally played ** to him.
In the summer of 2022, United showed a keen interest in the Netherlands international, and despite the constant persuasion of De Jong's former mentor Erik ten Hag to join, De Jong has always said he is eager to succeed at Barcelona.
The truth is that so far, since he arrived at Barca from Ajax in the summer of 2019 for a transfer fee of 86 million, he has only won one league title, one Copa del Rey and one Spanish Super Cup in his four-and-a-half-season Barca career.
