According to the Ass, after De Jong replaced his agent, Barcelona did not know who to negotiate a contract renewal.
De Jong's relationship with Barcelona has experienced some ups and downs in recent years, but the current situation of progress has calmed down, the players and club management have ushered in a new beginning, and Frick's arrival has also played a role in comforting, but his future is still full of uncertainty.
De Jong's contract will expire at the end of June next year. Although Laporta and the players said in an interview with Dutch media on June 8 that they had reached an agreement on renewal, negotiations are currently at a standstill. De Jong fired his former agent Durson, who had a bad relationship with Barcelona, but the problem now is that Barcelona doesn't know who to negotiate with, because the player currently has no official agent, only a Dutch lawyer who helped him with legal affairs.
Barcelona is waiting for negotiations with De Jong on a new contract. The new negotiation involves salary cuts, with the purpose of helping the club reach a 1:1 financial regulation, and the players themselves tend to stay in Barcelona.
