The 26-year-old midfielder, while a key player under Xavi Hernandez’s leadership, faces the possibility of departing Camp Nou. Despite his aspiration to secure a Champions League victory, uncertainty looms over Barcelona’s ability to achieve this goal in the foreseeable future. Reports indicate discord between the club and player regarding a contract extension, highlighting a potential rift.

Having opted for Barcelona over Manchester City in 2019, De Jong’s impact on the team has been notable, yet he has only clinched three trophies in the past four seasons. While he secured the Copa del Rey in 2021, the Supercopa de España in 2022, and a national championship in 2023, a significant European title has remained elusive.

Despite his contract running until mid-2026, speculation mounts about his departure next summer. Sources suggest that De Jong may seek a new challenge elsewhere, fueled by disillusionment with Barcelona’s recent performances, particularly in European competitions. The club’s repeated disappointments in the Champions League, failing to progress beyond the quarter-finals for eight consecutive seasons, have left De Jong dissatisfied. He reportedly seeks a move to a club with genuine prospects of Champions League success.

Originally acquired for €86 million, De Jong’s current Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €50 million. Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has expressed a strong desire to retain the Dutch midfielder, emphasizing the club’s efforts to secure his long-term commitment through a new contract.
