Frenkie De Jong Signs New Deal At Barcelona
Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. Yesterday, Fabrizio Romano and FC Barcelona's multiple social media pages confirmed that Frenkie de Jong has officially signed a new contract with FC Barcelona, which will be valid until 2029. This contract saga has been ongoing for the past two seasons now, as there were doubts about Frenkie De Jong renewing his contract at the club due to multiple reasons, which were later cleared by the Dutchman in an interview with the club's media team.
It was a rough period for Frenkie De Jong in the last two years because of his contract renewal saga and the injuries he faced. There was a time when almost all the Barcelona fans turned on Frenkie De Jong and wanted him out of the club because they felt that he was stalling his contract to expire so he could leave the club as a free agent. I still remember clearly how every match, if Frenkie De Jong makes a slight mistake on the pitch, some of the fans will come for him and start trash-talking on X about how bad he performed on the pitch.
It was a tough time for the Dutchman, but that didn't stop him from getting his head back in the game and before we knew it, the old Frenkie De Jong was back to 100 per cent on the pitch. De Jong is underrated and not given as much credit as he deserves, and a good example will be in the match against Newcastle United in the Champions League this season. In that match, the Dutchman didn't lose any places as everything was 100 per cent accurate. That is a huge deal for a team that has strong physical players when pressing, but the Dutchman gave a solid 10/10 performance on that day.
This renewal has now cleared the doubts of Frenkie De Jong leaving Barcelona anytime soon, and hopefully, this new chapter with the club will be worth it at the end. Deco did a good job in closing the deal and made all parties involved happy. There are reports that Frenkie De Jong will end with 18-19 million euros in net income. The wage of Frenkie De Jong has also been a major topic surrounding Frenkie De Jong's renewal, as some sources claim the Dutchman does not want to take a pay cut, which prolongs the renewal of his contract.
Frenkie De Jong is the second-highest-paid player in Barcelona, which was a result of the former Barcelona administration that gave a lot of players higher salaries, but under Laporta, the salary cap has seen significant changes as he made huge deductions on the salary cap. It is good news that Frenkie De Jong will be spending more years at the club and I am sure he will continue to give his all as he has done for the club in the past. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
