Barcelona set asking price for Frenkie de Jong as contract talks set to heat up
Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong that their relationship must be long-term, or he can pack his bags. The Dutchman’s future is back under the microscope this summer, as the Blaugrana again look to slash their wage bill for second summer in a row.
De Jong, 26, is their highest earner currently, and set to earn similar next year, while his deal finishes in 2026. Desperate to see him reduce, or at least spread out his wages more, and give themselves some security over his contract situation, Barcelona have made a renewal offer that de Jong has not responded to. If he does want to stay though, they want to speed up talks.
On the contrary, if de Jong is not convinced by the project or a new contract, they have made it clear he must bring in a major offer to leave this summer. They believe he is worth at least €100m, given Chelsea spent more than that on the likes of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
