The player has a contract until 2026 and is in negotiations for its renewal
This Wednesday (21), Barcelona will face Napoli, at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, in Italy, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League. But the match was not the main topic of midfielder Frenkie de Jong’s press conference this Tuesday (20th). The player vented his feelings regarding what the press reported about him.
– The truth is that lately what the press in general writes has bothered me a bit. Many things are not true, they are lies, and this makes me a little ashamed. You talk a lot about my contract, my situation, my salary, but it’s a lot of smoke. They made up a story that isn’t true – declared.
With a contract until 2026, Frenkie de Jong is reportedly in negotiations for a renewal with Barcelona until 2029. According to the press, however, financial problems are slowing down the negotiations. The player stated that his desire is to stay at the club.
– I am very happy at Barça, I am in my dream club and I hope to stay here for many years. The club, my daily teammates, the dressing room, the coaching staff, it’s wonderful. It’s a 10 – said the Dutchman.
Frenkie de Jong is an absolute starter for the team led by coach Xavi Hernández. In the current season, his fifth with Barcelona, the midfielder has appeared on the pitch on 24 occasions, all of them as a starter in 11. The athlete has scored one goal and has not distributed any assists.
Against Napoli the midfielder should start again. The probable lineup that Xavi will send onto the field includes: Ter Stegen; Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí and João Cancelo; Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Vitor Roque and Robert Lewandowski.
