Out-of-contract Barcelona star hopes for renewal but club yet to make an offer | OneFootball

According to a recent update from SPORT, Andreas Christensen has made it clear that he wants to extend his stay at Barcelona.

The outlet assures that the 29-year-old defender, whose current contract runs until 2026, has shown no interest in entertaining offers from other clubs.

He has completed four seasons at the club and is keen to continue, but only if Barcelona agree to keep him. For now, Christensen will have to wait, as the club has yet to make an official offer.

Important player for Barcelona

From a sporting perspective, Christensen remains an important part of Hansi Flick’s plans.

The Barcelona coach and his staff value the defender highly, praising his professionalism and trustworthiness on the pitch.

While he is regularly getting minutes, the coaching team has not confirmed whether he will enjoy a long-term starting role.

As such, Christensen’s future at the club will largely depend on his performances and how the team fares over the season.

For Barcelona, Christensen is a solid option, but the club is taking a cautious approach.

Decisions regarding contract renewals are expected at the end of the season, after evaluating both his form and physical condition.

Any potential offer would likely be within Barcelona’s revised salary structure, reflecting the club’s financial strategy.

Both Deco and Flick have expressed confidence in Christensen’s reliability. While other clubs will surely show interest, the Dane is willing to stay and adapt to the team’s framework.

Exploring options

Meanwhile, the club is also scouting centre-backs in the transfer market as a precaution.

Their focus is on players with potential and left-footed defenders capable of playing out from the back, ensuring that Barcelona are prepared for any eventuality in the summer transfer window.

Christensen’s commitment and professionalism make him a valuable asset for the Blaugrana.

However, whether he stays long-term will depend on his performances, team results, and how Barcelona manage their squad moving forward.
