According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, De Jong agreed to renew his contract with Barcelona until 2029 and continue to share the previously delayed wages to the new contract.
Barcelona director Deco directly negotiated a contract renewal with De Jong, just like the previous situation in Araujo. The two sides communicated on many things, so that De Jong even left the brokerage company and negotiated on its own. The framework of the
contract is very clear, and De Jong will renew the contract until 2029. Most importantly, De Jong once again agreed to continue to extend the salary in the previous contract and distribute it to the new contract he is about to sign. According to people familiar with the negotiations, the fiscal space De Jong can release is considerable, which may be crucial for Barcelona's player registration work this season.
De Jong's existing contract with Barcelona will expire on June 30, 2026. De Jong renews the contract with Barcelona in 2020 and extends some of the salary to help the club. Currently, De Jong's annual salary in Barcelona is 19 million euros, but due to the delay in paying previous salary, Barcelona originally needed to pay De Jong a salary of 37.5 million euros this season.
