After the closure of the summer transfer market, FC Barcelona has directed its focus towards renewing the contracts of star players Frenkie de Jong and Eric Garcia, in a strategic move within the club's long-term sports project, according to the Spanish newspaper "Marca".

Barcelona's management has been negotiating with the players for several months, and reports indicate that the talks are very advanced, with both parties optimistic about reaching an agreement soon. Both players have expressed their desire to continue with the team, while the technical management sees the necessity of retaining their services due to their increasing roles under coach Hans Flick.

The contracts of both De Jong, who is 28 years old, and Garcia, who is 24, extend until June 2026. The management aims to avoid a scenario where they leave for free, as both have become key elements this season. Garcia has started in the first three league matches, showing impressive performances in multiple positions, while De Jong is a key partner in midfield alongside Pedri.

This move is part of the club's policy to secure its core players, having already renewed contracts for prominent players like Lamine Yamal, Jules Koundé, and Raphinha, as Barcelona seeks to solidify its foundation and build a stable team capable of competing in the coming years.
