Barca take a stand on De Jong: either he renews at a low price or leaves in summer

Despite having a contract with FC Barcelona until 2026, De Jong 's future is up in the air. According to the latest reports, the player is considering a move away from Camp Nou due to the poor results that the Catalan giants are achieving.

Tottenham would have been the first to make him an offer. 60 million euros would pay the 'spurs' to Barca for the Dutchman.

Given this scenario, the 'cule' board is preparing for any possible situation. According to 'Tiempo de Juego', the club are considering selling De Jong this summer.

The midfielder's contract runs until 2026. Barca are considering making him a renewal offer, but it would be a low one. If he accepts it, he would be paid considerably less than what he currently receives.

An offer that would be, rather, an ultimatum. And if he does not accept it, the institution will put De Jong up for sale, for whom it will listen to offers this summer and he would not be the only one. Other players such as Raphinha and Kounde are also on the exit ramp.

The player who is completely out of the market is Araujo, one of the few untouchables in the squad. The club's management is counting on him for the 2024-25 season, no matter how much Bayern insist on taking him to the Bundesliga.
