Frenkie de Jong extends Barcelona contract until 2029

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong signed a new deal until 2029, the Spanish champions announced on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old Dutch international joined Barcelona from Ajax in 2019 and is in his seventh season with the Catalan giants, winning two La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey twice.

De Jong has struggled for form at times, but became a key part of the midfield under Hansi Flick last season alongside Pedri Gonzalez.

Arriving under the previous Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, De Jong is one of the club’s highest earners, with Spanish media reporting he has accepted a pay cut in his new deal starting from the 2026/27 season.

Netherlands include injured Frenkie de Jong in Euro 2024 squad

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman has included Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in his final 26-man squad for Euro 2024 despite the fact he is still recovering from an ankle injury.

Koeman has however left out left-back Ian Maatsen, who has played a key role in Borussia Dortmund’s progress to the Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday but has never played for his country’s senior side.

The coach has placed his trust at left-back in the duo of Nathan Ake, fresh from winning the Premier League title with Manchester City, and the veteran Daley Blind.

De Jong suffered the injury in Barcelona’s 3-2 defeat by Real Madrid in the Clasico on April 21 — the third time this season he had suffered ankle issues — but is expected to return to training on Saturday, just under two weeks before the Euros kick-off.
