Initially, De Jong declined to discuss the matter, saying, "I can't say anything about it. I don't even want to talk about it now. I'm with the national team, so I won't go into it." However, he later shared his thoughts, stating, "I think I will renew, but you can never say with 100% certainty. If everything goes well, it should happen."
De Jong also mentioned that both Barcelona and he are keen on renewing his contract. He believes that since they both want the renewal, an agreement should be reached.
