"Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong have reached a full agreement over a new contract. The Dutchman's current deal stands to expire at the end of the season, and he is now all set to sign a new one that will keep him tied to Barça for three more years until 2029. De Jong himself all but confirmed that his renewal was imminent last week during an interview."
"As per the report, the Netherlands international's new release clause will be set at a whopping €500 million. While it does not place him in the €1 billion club alongside players like Gavi, Pedri, and Lamine Yamal, it is still an increase from his previous release clause, which stood at €400 million. De Jong will be taking a pay cut on his new contract to adhere to the club's new salary structure in place."
Frenkie de Jong has agreed a new contract with Barcelona that extends his stay until 2029 and is set to be formally signed on Wednesday, 15 October. The new release clause will be €500 million, up from €400 million, though it falls short of the €1 billion level assigned to some teammates. De Jong will accept a pay cut to fit the club's new salary structure, while keeping the current season's salary amounts until the new wage terms take effect from 1 July 2026. De Jong remains a key midfield figure alongside Pedri under Hansi Flick.
