""Frenkie de Jong will continue to wear the Blaugrana jersey for a long time to come. This Wednesday, the final signing of the new contract that will keep the midfielder with FC Barcelona until 2029 took place," the club statement read. "The player, along with president Joan Laporta, confirmed his continued presence at a ceremony held at the club's headquarters." De Jong's previous contract stood to expire at the end of the ongoing season"
""Issues with his former agent, Ali Dursun, slowed down the process a great deal, but once the midfielder changed representation, everything moved forward much more smoothly. De Jong always wished to continue at Barcelona, and considering his importance in Hansi Flick's setup, the Catalans too were intent on retaining him. As such, an agreement was finally reached over a three-year extension that will keep the Dutchman at the club until 2029.""
