Frenkie de Jong’s Barcelona Stay Uncertain: Could He Be Sold in 2025?
The Dutch midfielder, whose contract runs until 2026, has not yet committed to an extension, leaving Barcelona in a precarious position.
The Catalan club wants to avoid the possibility of him leaving for free when his contract expires, a scenario that would add to their financial concerns.
Manchester United remains a strong contender for De Jong’s signature, having long admired the player and unsuccessfully attempted to sign him previously.
While De Jong has been a crucial figure in Barcelona’s midfield under coach Hansi Flick, the club may be forced to consider offers for the 27-year-old if no contract renewal is in sight.
Barcelona is reportedly keen to extend his contract, but negotiations have stalled. The club’s financial situation, combined with De Jong’s high salary, has led to speculation that they may be open to selling him in the near future.
De Jong’s potential departure could spark a major bidding war, with top clubs like Manchester United poised to act.
For now, the focus will be on his performances, especially in key matches coming up in both La Liga and the Champions League.
However, how this contract saga unfolds will be one of the major storylines to watch over the next year
