Over time, despite Andreas Christensen proving on numerous occasions that he can be a valuable asset for FC Barcelona, whether as a central defender or midfielder, it seems he is destined to have his name linked as a candidate to leave the team through a transfer. This time, what could be the reason that might lead him to the Barcelona transfer market next summer? It all comes down to the fact that the Danish defender will end his contract with the institution on June 30, 2026.

In this regard, from the Barcelona team, specifically from the sports management led by Deco, they understand that although the renewal of Andreas Christensen may not seem like a high priority compared to players like Pedri González and Lamine Yamal, they have a strong reason to seek to extend the contract of the former Chelsea player soon.

The Danish player's renewal would be based on two main premises; firstly, at 28 years old, it is known that when he is in full condition, he is an asset that tends to perform in more than one position and does so at a good level, which would be beneficial to provide depth to the Barça squad. Secondly, thinking about a possible future transfer, to have the ability to negotiate for a player who still holds good value in the European market.

The condition that would make FC Barcelona consider selling Christensen this summer

Now, according to journalist Matteo Moretto for the media outlet 'Football Spain', the near future of the Danish defender at FC Barcelona would depend on accepting this renewal, why? If an effective agreement is not reached to extend the contract between both parties, Barça would seek another team for him this summer.

Even if they renew his contract, it would not be outlandish for the Barça team to listen to offers for him and accept one if it is attractive enough for all parties, considering he is not an untouchable player. However, it is also worth noting that Barcelona is not actively seeking a new destination for him with such urgency.

We will have to see how the future of Andreas Christensen unfolds, who has currently seen limited playing time, with only 26 minutes of action in this 2024/25 season, as the Barça '15' is currently dealing with tendinopathy in his left Achilles. Recovery is estimated between two and four months, so his return is not expected until the final stretch of this year 2024.
