Each team: Barcelona and De Jong have reached a contract renewal agreement, with an annual salary of the same as Pedri, about 12 million euros

According to "Everything", after weeks of intense negotiations, Barcelona finally reached a contract renewal agreement with De Jong, and the new contract will be extended to June 30, 2029. The negotiations between the two sides have advanced to the stage of exchanging documents.

The remaining procedures will be completed in the next few days. Currently, only the signatures of club chairman Laporta, vice chairman Rafa Eust and other board members are required, and all procedures are expected to be officially completed within one week. De Jong's new agent, lawyer Sebastian Leduer, played a key role in the negotiations, making the whole process faster and smoother than before.

Der Jong's new contract will be consistent with other top players under the new salary structure. In addition to Lewandowski (the highest-paid player in the team), Rafinia, Yamal (his contracts are increasing year by year) and Ter Stegen (due to different qualification renewal standards), De Jong's annual salary will be the same as Pedri, about 12 million euros. This salary level is comparable to Olmo, Ferran Torres and Araujo who moved from Leipzig last summer.

Next, Barcelona needs to resolve the contract renewal of Eric Garcia and Christensen. The former has begun initial contact through its agent Ivan de La Peña. Although Garcia had considered leaving in the winter transfer window last season, head coach Frick managed to restore his confidence.

As a versatile defender, Garcia has performed well in many positions and is determined to stay in Barcelona. Christensen, by contrast, is different, and his contract will also expire on June 30. He failed to maintain a steady state last season due to injuries. The club management is cautious about this, and Christensen's performance this season will determine whether he can continue to play for Barcelona.
