Frenkie De Jong's future at Barcelona is facing a turning point, as the club's board of directors is starting to lose patience with the Dutch midfielder.
Despite reaching an agreement to reduce his salary to around 8 million euros net per season, on par with Pedri and Raphinha, De Jong has yet to sign a new contract.
This delay has upset Deco. Barca's sporting director wants to quickly finalize the future so that coach Hansi Flick can prepare for the new season in stability.
According to the new policy proposed by President Joan Laporta, any player with 1 year left on his contract that has not been renewed will not be allowed to play - except for older cases (like Robert Lewandowski), reserves, or factors that only sign for one year due to Barca's finances.
De Jong is no exception. He has enjoyed a strong rise under Hansi Flick and is now a regular.
The problem is, De Jong has just fired his agent. The former Ajax player has not announced who will be his new manager.
This has delayed all procedures in the process of discussing a new contract. However, this has not reduced Barca's determination to put pressure on the player to complete the file as soon as possible.
According to Don Balon, Deco sent a very clear message: if there is no breakthrough in the next few days, De Jong will not be on the field in the opening match of the La Liga season.
This is a tense scenario that neither side wants.
