According to World Sports News on July 31, Barcelona is actively taking action to ensure the renewal of the team's core players. Comte (26), De Jong (28) and Eric Garcia (24) will be the next group to complete the contract renewal.

First, Conde has reached an agreement with the club, and he will sign a contract renewal until 2030 upon his return to Barcelona. The French defender has been an indispensable part of the team since joining the summer of 2022 and has been at the heart of the right defense after Frick coached.

Next is De Jong, whose contract will expire in 2026. Barcelona reportedly hope to extend his contract for another three years, including next season and two subsequent seasons. Additionally, if he reaches a certain number of appearances in his last season, the automatic renewal of a year may be triggered. Although negotiations have been postponed due to De Jong's replacement, new agents can now restart negotiations to ensure the future of the Dutch international.

The third place is Eric Garcia. Although head coach Frick and technical director Deco are very optimistic about him, since there are already five central defenders in the team, the club hopes to deal with one of the players first, and Christensen is given priority, but the Danes are currently unwilling to leave. Another possibility is Araujo, who may also leave the team if he finds that there are not many opportunities to play before the transfer window is closed. In any case, the club is very confident in Eric Garcia because he is competent for centre-backs, full-backs and even midfielders. His contract will also expire in 2026, but everyone hopes to reach a satisfactory renewal agreement.

In addition, Barcelona also needs to complete the renewal of Bernal (18 years old). At the end of September last year, shortly after he was injured, the club decided to give him additional support, extending his youth contract, which was originally scheduled to expire in 2026 to 2029, and setting a 500 million euro termination fee, but now it is only time for Chairman Laporta to officially sign the contract.

Technical Director De Ke set off for South Korea yesterday and will watch the team's warm-up match against Seoul FC on site. There, Deco will further finalize the details of the new contract for Conde, De Jong and Eric Garcia.
