Bombshell! Frenkie de Jong changes everything, Barça reacts, 2 new signings before January

Frenkie de Jong has delivered outstanding performances in recent weeks. He appears more engaged, with greater confidence and determination, regaining that influence that has always justified his signing. His contract renewal with Barça is considered imminent, and the club is working decisively to secure it as soon as possible.

The board is well on track with the contract extensions for Frenkie de Jong and two of his teammates before the end of the year. All three players' contracts expire in 2026, but they want to stay and both sides agree that they want to secure their continuity as soon as possible.

Renewals that will follow Frenkie de Jong's

In Eric García's case, the situation is clearer and more stable. From Martorell, he has shown versatility and commitment, which has earned him the coaching staff's trust. For Barça, signing him long-term is a priority shared by both the player and the club.

With Christensen, the story is somewhat different. Although he wants to stay, his continuity will depend on his physical condition and the guarantees he can offer in a squad with constant demands. The club hasn't defined the final terms of his renewal yet, although negotiations are formally underway.

Frenkie de Jong's renewal could change Barça's sporting outlook. Not only would the club secure the continuity of a key footballer, but his prolonged presence would also strengthen the midfield as the core of the project. With him secured, the club would gain competitive stability to face greater challenges.

Meanwhile, if Eric and Christensen sign before January, it would mean Barça intends to secure its main core as soon as possible. That would ease internal tensions and prevent any of them from leaving as free agents in June. It would also provide peace of mind to the coaching staff, knowing that their trusted players will remain.

This series of moves would indicate that Deco and Laporta don't want any surprises in the next transfer window. They seek to consolidate a strong squad identity, with names who already know the locker room and the philosophy.

Barça's plan and Frenkie de Jong's future

If these renewals are formalized before January, Barça will have overcome one of the biggest dangers of the summer: the loss of talent. In addition, with long-term contracts, the club can plan future signings without the risk of any of these players leaving as free agents. Sporting coherence is gaining ground over opportunistic business moves.

There is no doubt that Frenkie de Jong, with his recent performances and declared commitment, has been the trigger for the club to respond firmly. Barça recognizes that he is an essential part of the present and wants him to be part of the future as well.
