Save the future! Marca: After Barcelona completes De Jong s contract extension, they will go through the formalities to contract Eric and Ferran

"Marca" reported that with De Jong renewing his contract with Barcelona until 2029, Barcelona sports director Deco has basically completed a key strategic task: consolidating the current team's core lineup.

Since Barcelona is strictly restricted by Financial Fair Play rules and cannot make large-scale signings in the transfer market, Deco's focus in the past year has been to retain the current main players through contract renewal and ensure the team's present and future.

Deco's strategy is divided into two parts. The first is to lock in the young cornerstones coveted by European giants. It is reported that Paris Saint-Germain was prepared to "give everything" to Yamal, and Chelsea was also eyeing Fermin. To this end, Barcelona successfully completed contract extensions with future core players such as Yamal and Kubasi (both of whom offer long-term contracts after turning 18 years old).

The second is to stabilize the core players in their prime. Before De Jong, the club had already renewed their contracts with Conde, Rafinha and Araujo, ensuring that these players will stay in Barcelona during their peak period. They will all be over 30 after fulfilling their new contracts.

After completing this series of strategic contract renewals, Deco's next focus will shift to other players. The most urgent task at the moment is to open and complete contract extension negotiations with Eric Garcia, who has performed well recently, and then the club also plans to extend the contract with Ferran.
