Scramble? Barcelona s midfield core contract renewal is stuck, and the salary bomb is about to explode?

Barcelona is eager to renew De Jong's contract, but the agent is acting like a lie? How to solve the problem of wage arrears? Barcelona's current lineup is pretty good. Although it is not as good as Messi and Xavi Iniestabusquets's cosmic team era, superstars such as Yamal Rafinia Pedri Lewandowski in the midfield are also very good at playing. What should midfield commander De Jong do? According to inside information disclosed by the Spanish authoritative football media Daily Sports, Barcelona wanted to renew the contract with De Jong, but De Jong changed his agent, which led to obstacles in renewal of the contract between the two parties.

28-year-old De Jong plays as a midfielder. He transferred from Ajax to La Liga in 2019, when his transfer fee was 86 million euros. In the following years, De Jong was in an awkward situation in Barcelona due to high salary and injuries. Fortunately, Barcelona coach Fric knew the ball with keen eyes and left De Jong behind. Last season, De Jong made 46 appearances for Barcelona, completing 2 goals and 2 assists. Not only did he return to Barcelona's starting lineup, he also often served as Barcelona captain. De Jong's original contract with Barcelona will expire on June 30, 2026, and Barcelona wants to renew his contract with him.

De Jong himself also wants to stay in Barcelona until at least 2028. At least De Jong has just changed his agent, which makes it more troublesome to renew the contract now. Zahavi may become De Jong's new agent, but he has not officially started working, which makes Barcelona feel unsure. Previously, teams including Manchester United wanted to introduce De Jong. Fortunately, Flick reactivated De Jong. Now the Barcelona midfielder formed by De Jong and Ormo Pedri and others is extremely powerful and is the cornerstone of the Barcelona dynasty. Barcelona is afraid that De Jong will leave the team for free when the contract expires.

Therefore, Barcelona is accelerating the contract renewal efforts. Barcelona's new king Yamal has completed its contract renewal work. Next, Barcelona needs to retain De Jong and Eric Garcia. I think it is necessary for Barcelona to stay De Jong. De Jong has good skills and vision, which is very compatible with Barcelona's tactical system, and it also changed its original defensive problem last season. If Barcelona wants to renew the contract, they have to renew the contract as soon as possible. The original wage arrears have not been solved. If they don’t renew the contract as soon as possible, it will be embarrassing when the Dejong contract expires next year.
