This is his seventh season with Barcelona, after signing from Ajax for \u20ac86m back in 2019. The Netherlands international has come full circle though, after a tricky spell where the club were open to selling him.<\/p>\n
De Jong criticises media coverage<\/h2>\n
Part of that was the affirmation that de Jong was not only not hitting the heights expected him on the pitch, but that he was the club\u2019s highest earner off it. Something that de Jong denied to Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you what I\u2019m going to earn, but they\u2019ve always talked a lot about it, and I\u2019ve said it before, that the figures have been exaggerated, that they never came out as they were. That has affected how people view me.\u201d<\/p>\n At some points, relations between de Jong and the hierarchy at Barcelona were far from good. However he appears to be in a better place with his teammates now.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t feel undervalued by my teammates, coaches, or people at the club<\/a>. It\u2019s more down to you (the press). Everyone is entitled to their opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n Official: Frenkie de Jong has extended his contract until 2029. @FCBarcelona<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Qnn9HDiJVQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 barcacentre (@barcacentre) October 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In spite of his taking the opportunity to settle a few accounts, the general tone was celebratory, and de Jong was content to have committed his future to Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I\u2019ve always said, as a child I always dreamed of playing for Barca, and now I\u2019m achieving that dream. I want to stay here and win many titles.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always said, I wanted to be at Barcelona. I want to stay as long as possible.
