World: Although both sides are willing to continue, Barcelona and De Jong renew their contracts due to termination of contract with their agents

August 15 According to the World Sports report, the renewal of Barcelona and De Jong was hindered by the termination of the contract with their agent. Although both players and clubs expressed their willingness to continue to cooperate, the two sides have not reached a new agreement yet.

The main reason is that De Jong is in a complicated termination process with his agent Dulsen. According to people familiar with the matter, the agreement between De Jong and Dulsen will last until 2026, so it is difficult to terminate easily. If the agreement cannot be terminated, the commissions generated by the renewal will be owned by Dulsen, although De Jong hopes to terminate his partnership with him.

This complicated the contract renewal negotiations, however, Barcelona is not in a hurry to make it because they believe that De Jong does want to stay with the team and believes that there are enough substitutes in the midfield position. In addition to De Jong, there are three high-level players who can compete in this position: Garvey, Cassado and Bernal. Garvey performed well after he recovered from injury, Casador performed well last season and gained the trust of the head coach, while Bernal was already a main player before his injury.

In addition, another key issue is salary. De Jong's current salary needs to be lowered to stay with the team, and Barcelona has provided him with a new three-year contract, but economic conditions have been lowered. If De Jong accepts it, it will be very good. If you don't accept it, the club won't be too worried. Even if De Jong eventually leaves for free, Barcelona won't panic because they have enough young talents in the midfield position.

In short, Barcelona is not in a hurry to solve this problem, and no matter the final result, they are confident that they will find the right solution.
