Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. Today, I want to take a look at the ongoing situation surrounding Frenkie De Jong's renewal with FC Barcelona. This topic has been going on for one year now, as at that time, there were speculations that the Dutchman could leave the club as he was unwilling to sign a new contract with FC Barcelona. During that time, De Jong was struggling to perform on the pitch after his return from the ankle injury.
Many Barcelona fans wanted De Jong out of the club earlier last season as he was getting so much hate, but that didn't stop him from working hard to get back his good form, which he eventually did, and we saw a new player emerge from his bad days to give an 8/10 performance on the pitch. There were rumours that Frenkie De Jong was unwilling to sign because the new contract FC Barcelona was offering would make him earn less than he currently earns, and as a result, the Dutchman decided to halt every process to remain in his contract with the club.
This rumour has been debunked by Frenkie De Jong as he gave an interview earlier in the season to address all the misconceptions about him in the media. Frenkie De Jong cleared the air and everything went back to normal. Now, for the past weeks, talks about Frenkie De Jong's renewal have been flying around, and one would wonder why this has not been done. Frenkie De Jong recently hired a new agent, as he is tired of the old one, as he is almost done settling any business he has with his former agent.
According to reports, once Frenkie De Jong is done with his old agent, then everything can be done with the renewal of the Dutchman. Frenkie De Jong wants to continue at Barcelona and the relationship he has with Hansi is great. It is just a matter of time before everything is processed and then we can consider the extension of Frenkie De Jong at Barcelona. There has been a little talk from the perspective of some Barcelona fans about the club letting De Jong go and leaving Marc Casado, and I have seen different opinions on that question.
Frenkie De Jong is an essential player for the team and has spent more time in the first team than Marc Casado. In my opinion, I would prefer Frenkie De Jong to stay at the club rather than Casado because Frenkie has the experience and can still play at the highest level, even though he is getting older. There is still uncertainty about Marc Casado's future at the club as Barcelona still welcome the idea of letting the Spanish midfielder leave. There will be more updates on this situation with Casado and Frenkie De Jong contract renewal process in the coming days. So guys that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
