Marca: De Jong s new agent has met with De Jong, and the contract renewal negotiations are on the right track

August 21 According to the Marca newspaper, De Jong's new agent has met with sports director De Ke, and the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides have been on track.

reported that De Jong and Barcelona have made progress in negotiations for renewal. Previously, the negotiations for renewal were stagnated due to the breakup between De Jong and his long-term agent Dulsen. Now, the new agent has met with the club this Wednesday to discuss renewal. Barcelona president Laporta said a few weeks ago that negotiations for renewal have been on track.

Although De Jong's relationship with the club has experienced ups and downs and even considered leaving the team for a while, things have changed fundamentally over the past season. The players overcame the injuries and returned to their best form. In addition, the team not only won the championship, but also hopes to win more honors in the future with its lineup strength.

All this made De Jong rethink his future, and in recent weeks he publicly expressed his desire to stay in Barcelona. At present, the two sides need to reach an agreement on the terms of the contract because the club is unwilling to raise his salary because he is already one of the highest paid players in the team.

Barca hopes to complete the renewal before the transfer window is closed to better comply with fiscal fairness policies and make room for unregistered players such as Gerald Martin. However, with Romeu's departure, this problem will be solved soon.
