"I never had this feeling - I'm not involved in all this social media thing. I think that's a good thing. Every supporter of Barcelona can see it's great to have him in the team. For me it's fantastic to see, because he enjoys training, he enjoys playing with these guys. And he has huge quality."
"I speak with him a lot, because I want to know his feelings, I want to know his opinion. If this feeling is out there, then I think it comes from outside. It's a pity, because he is great. But no-one in the team, no-one in the club, thinks differently about him."
Frenkie de Jong's contract extension with Barcelona until 2029 provides clarity on his future. He is often underrated but ranks highly among midfielders in key metrics. De Jong effectively controls the game, evades pressure, and contributes defensively. As one of five club captains, he shares valuable experience with younger players. Despite some fan skepticism about his role, manager Hansi Flick values De Jong's contributions and insights, emphasizing his quality and importance to the team.
