"Frenkie de Jong has extended his contract with Barcelona until 2029, the club have confirmed. The Netherlands international's deal with the Blaugrana was due to expire at the end of this season. However, he has signed on for three more years, having played a key role in Barca's recent success under Hansi Flick. His deal reportedly includes a €500million (£435.3m) release clause, an agreement that continues a trend for Barca, who have tied several players down to contracts featuring astronomical release clauses in recent times."
"De Jong made 46 appearances in all competitions last season, 23 of them starts as he competed with Pedri and Gavi for playing time in the Barca engine room. He scored two goals and provided two assists, all of them in LaLiga as Flick's men dethroned Real Madrid. Barca also beat Madrid in a thrilling Copa del Rey final and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, only to lose an epic tie to Inter Milan."
