Barcelona defender likely to renew contract despite interest from Premier League, Serie A | OneFootball

Andreas Christensen’s future at Barcelona has been the subject of significant uncertainty over the past few months, with clubs from across Europe making attempts to lure the Danish centre-back away from the Camp Nou.

Despite his contract expiring on June 30th and a lengthy injury record casting doubt over his long-term role at the club, Christensen has been a wanted man this summer.

The former Chelsea defender has been attracting interest from clubs in Greece, Italy and England.

According to Mundo Deportivo, none of those approaches appear have swayed the 30-year-old as it seems Christensen has made his decision.

The Dane will renew his contract Barcelona for two more seasons and has no desire to leave Camp Nou right now.

The defender is now simply waiting to receive the official contract documents from the club, at which point he will review them with his agent and set a date to sign.

The formality of the renewal is considered a matter of when, not if.

The most telling aspect of the story is that the financial proposals on the table from interested clubs were more lucrative than what Barcelona are offering. Despite that, Christensen chose to stay.

The report suggests the Dane feels extremely comfortable at the club and in the city of Barcelona, and his family share that feeling.

He also has the full backing of Hansi Flick, who has been one of his most vocal supporters throughout his injury recovery and sees him as a versatile and experienced option in the defensive setup next season.

After two seasons decimated by injuries, Christensen is eager to prove himself and repay the faith the coach has shown in him.
