Barcelona is keen to maintain its current midfield structure, which has already proven its worth under the German coach. Frenkie de Jong is a cornerstone of Hansi Flick's squad. It was essential to ensure he was included in the Spanish team's system, which achieved everything in Flick's first season.
It was only a few days ago that Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, spoke about the status of the Dutch star's new contract with Barcelona.
We are in talks. Frenkie is truly enjoying his time here. He has matured in every aspect—within his family, in the squad... If a player has character, he wants to stay at Barcelona not just for the city, but because he wants to fight for trophies.

Deco said.
And he sees that he can compete for titles here. He understands that and wants to stay. Within the club, we see him as a key player for the current project and for the coming years, so I think we’ll finalize everything very soon.
Deco concluded.
.@sergisoleMD: "Frenkie de Jong is pure control and balance. His passing is clinical, his vision unmatched, and his calm makes Barça tick. At 28, he’s matured into the true compass of Flick’s system, second Dutchman with most games, and still climbing. A treasure." pic.twitter.com/capYIgsPBI
