Frick s personal charm! Barcelona s three main players are impressed, the contract renewal is about to be completed, Real Madrid is under pressure

The most successful club in La Liga last season was Barcelona, and the strongest signing was German coach Flick. In his first season, he led Barcelona to win the domestic triple crown without any signings: La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super League Cup. What made the Blue and Red League fans most happy was that they completed the four-game winning streak against their arch rival Real Madrid. How many years have this not happened in the Spanish national derby? Although he was eliminated by Inter Milan in the overtime of the Champions League semi-finals, overall, Flick's answer was amazing enough.

Barcelona has been under tremendous financial pressure in recent years. It is well known that Frick has only spent 25 million euros to introduce goalkeeper Joan Garcia and loaned Rashford. In addition to the team's "no money", the team's lineup is also quite stable. Under Flick's training, De Jong and Eric Garcia have become the absolute core of the team, just like signing two powerful players. Kong De was also the main force of the team before he was injured. The strength of the German coach also convinced these three main players. According to a report from "World Sports" that the renewal of the contract between the three of them and the team was quite smooth. It was only a matter of time before the official announcement was, and the biggest contributor was the German coach.

De Jong: From hesitation to firmness, the Dutch midfielder returned to the peak, 28-year-old Frankie De Jong is one of the most popular players in Barcelona's midfield. Since joining for 86 million euros in 2019, he has experienced injuries, position adjustments, and transfer rumors have been flying all over the world. At the beginning of last season, De Jong started as a substitute due to a long-term ankle injury, but in the second half of the season, the double midfielder formed by him and Pedri became the core of Frick's 4231 system. His golden combination with Pedri was a great contribution to Barcelona's three-time champion. He played 46 games throughout the season, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists. His ball-handling and rhythm scheduling skills are still the guarantee of Barcelona's midfielder.

De Jong's existing contract is only one year left, with an annual salary of up to 19 million euros. He has been hesitant about renewal over the past few seasons, but everything has changed with Frick's trust and reuse. Barcelona proposed a new structure of contract: fixed annual salary is slightly reduced, but floating bonuses are linked to appearance and performance, and the total income is slightly increased. The contract is till June 2028 and comes with a one-year extension option. De Jong also publicly stated during the Asian Tour: "I am very happy at Barcelona, and the club trusts me, and I will renew my contract."

Conde: Frick's ironman right-back

26-year-old French defender Conde has become the backbone of the defense since joining Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer of 2022 for 50 million euros. In the past two seasons, he has made 141 appearances, contributing 7 goals and 8 assists, and has become Flick's tactical iron man last season, with 53 appearances and 50 starts in various competitions. Whether it is defensive stability or assist ability, Conde is a security guarantee on Barcelona's right.

Conde's current contract has two years left, with an annual salary of 13.55 million euros, which is already the maximum salary for the right-back position. The contract renewal negotiations were extremely smooth. World Sports News confirmed that the two parties had reached a new contract agreement, which will renew the contract for three years and increase its annual salary slightly. With the end of the pre-season tour, Conde will officially complete the signing, and Barcelona's right will remain stable in the next three years.

Eric Garcia: The 24-year-old Eric Garcia is produced by Lamacia's youth training. After returning to Barcelona in 2021, although he is not the absolute main force, he has won Flick's trust with his versatile qualities. Last season, he played in 45 games, including 19 starts and contributed 5 goals and 3 assists. Being able to play in the central defender, fullback and even midfielder makes him a key role in the thickness of the lineup.

Eric Garcia showed top-notch high standards at right back position, especially during the injury stage of Conde. Despite his invitations to multiple clubs, Frick insists on seeing him as an integral part of the lineup. The two sides have reached an agreement on renewal, and the new contract will be officially announced until 2030. The Asian Tour will return to Barcelona.

With the renewal of Conde, De Jong and Eric Garcia, Barcelona's main framework is almost locked. In other words, Barcelona can only carry out targeted reinforcements on the basis of stabilizing the main team in the next three years, and there is no need to "bet a life-like" purchase and high salary as in previous years. This puts a lot of pressure on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The stability of a wealthy lineup is the most terrifying and it is also the basic element of the birth of a dynasty. Come on, Flick.
