Earlier in the season, he seemed inevitable that De Jong left Barcelona this summer. However, he has changed CAP in recent weeks and is now considered a regular holder by coach Hansi Flick. He would therefore be eager to extend his stay at the club.
Currently, no discussion has taken place between the sports director Deco and the representatives of De Jong, even if they should take place in the coming weeks. Hope is that an agreement is reached before the summer, but if this is not the case, it would mean that Barcelona would place it on the market in order to avoid losing it for nothing when its current contract will expire in 2026 .

If De Jong is available this summer, a first league transfer seems to be its most likely destination. Liverpool has expressed his interest, and now TBR Football (via ED) reported that Arsenal was also planning to continue the Dutch midfielder during the transfer window.
Barcelona should accept a reduced price if De Jong should be sold this summer, and it would be a hard blow. He has been in excellent form in recent weeks, and it is clear that Flick would like to keep his services, but it should also be left if there was no hope of seeing him sign a new contract before the expiration of his Current lease. For the moment, it seems more likely that it remains, but that cannot be taken for granted.
