Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has expressed his dedication to the club, stating that he would only consider leaving if the team could no longer compete for major titles. The Dutch international, who joined Barcelona from Ajax in 2019, emphasized that his decision to stay is tied to his ability to contribute to the team’s success on the pitch.
De Jong, 27, has a contract with Barcelona until 2026 but has yet to sign an extension, fueling speculation about his future. Despite persistent links to a move to Manchester United in recent transfer windows, De Jong has remained a crucial part of Barcelona’s squad. He famously rejected a Premier League transfer two summers ago, choosing to solidify his role at Camp Nou despite injury setbacks last season.
In a recent interview, De Jong addressed rumors about his loyalty, saying, “Life outside football here is good, but what matters most is what happens on the pitch. If I ever feel I can’t contribute enough or the team can’t compete at the highest level, I’d consider leaving.” For now, his commitment to Barcelona remains unwavering.
