CORE SUBJECT

Andreas Christensen's contract renewal with FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona is not in a hurry to open the file for renewing the contract of its Danish defender Andreas Christensen, despite his current contract expiring at the end of the current season, which opens the door to the possibility of his departure on a free transfer.

According to the Spanish newspaper AS, the Catalan club's management "is not in a rush" to start renewal negotiations with the 29-year-old defender, even though he will be entitled, starting January 1, to negotiate and sign with clubs outside Spain.

Christensen has struggled to get regular playing minutes since Flick took over the team's leadership, having participated in only 23 matches across all competitions during this period, which has affected his standing within the coaching staff's plans.

The report indicated that this stagnation on Barcelona's part could lead to losing a player considered a "sellable asset" for free, amid increasing interest from clubs in the English Premier League as well as clubs from the Saudi league, which are preparing to make contract offers to the Danish defender.

Christensen's future remains uncertain, pending whether Barcelona will change its stance in the coming weeks or allow the player to approach a free departure at the end of the season.
