Frenkie de Jong makes Barca tremble with his last statements

This season, FC Barcelona is enjoying success on the field, with a strong run of wins in both La Liga and the Champions League.

However, off the pitch, there is an issue causing concern. According to Catalunya Radio, the club has been waiting for several weeks for a response from Frenkie de Jong (27) about a potential contract extension, but so far, there has been no reply.

Reports from Spanish media suggest that Barcelona fears the Dutch midfielder is delaying his decision with the intention of leaving on a free transfer when his contract expires in June 2026. Although De Jong remains an important player for coach Hansi Flick, he has unresolved tensions with the club’s management, particularly following an attempt by president Joan Laporta and his team to sell him to Manchester United, an incident that still causes friction.
