The club is allowing the player some time.

Barcelona’s midfielder Frenkie de Jong’s contract extension is a key issue. So far, there hasn’t been much progress, but the club’s president, Joan Laporta, provided an update.

Details: Laporta stated that talks for the contract renewal are still in progress. The player has requested more time following a change of agents. Reports indicate that the new agent has already met with the club’s sporting director, Deco.

Quote: “We’re addressing it. Deco has done a remarkable job with contracts and transfers, exceeding all expectations this summer. It was a very wise investment.

We’re focused on it. De Jong faced some issues with his previous agent and needed some time. He is very motivated, a great captain, and has recently become a father… He’s a crucial player for us. I believe Deco will soon bring us good news,” Laporta told the media.
