Barcelona send fresh €19 million contract renewal offer to midfield star | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga giants Barcelona recently sent a fresh contract renewal offer the way of midfield standout Frenkie de Jong.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Thursday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.

De Jong, for his part, has of course spent the last couple of months reestablishing himself as one of the first names on the team sheet of boss Hansi Flick.

Owing to a resurgence in form following a spell on the sidelines through injury, the former Ajax man has usurped youngster Marc Casadó in the engine room pecking order in Barcelona.

And, evidently, such efforts have not gone unappreciated in the boardroom at the Camp Nou.

De Jong, for his part, is due to see his Blaugrana contract terms expire in the summer of 2026.

Deco and the brass at the club sent a renewal offer the way of the 27-year-old last year, but ultimately decided to rescind as much, owing to De Jong’s struggles.

With the Dutch international now back firing on all cylinders, though, a new proposal has been sent the way of De Jong and his representatives.

As per a report from Sport:

‘Deco met with the Dutchman’s representative, Ali Dursun, on February 19 and gave him a new renewal proposal, as the previous one had already been terminated by the club.’

The offer, it is understood, is for three years, on the same wages which De Jong currently earns – €18-19 million-per-year.
