According to ESPN reports, Barcelona has reached an agreement with midfielder De Jong on a contract extension. The new contract will last until 2029. Official news is expected to be announced on October 15.

It is reported that after changing agents, negotiations between the two parties were restarted and finalized. De Jong only has one year left on his last contract, and his staying in the team provides reassurance for Barcelona's future plans.

After dealing with De Jong, the next focus of sports director Deco will be to deal with three players whose contracts expire in 2026: Lewandowski, Eric Garcia and Christensen.

Among them, the contract renewal situation of Lewandowski, who is about to turn 38, is the most complicated. At the same time, the club also needs to decide whether to spend 30 million euros to buy out Rashford, who is on loan from Manchester United.
