There is no doubt that Christensen was one of the most reliable signings in last summer’s market, arriving from Chelsea with a letter of freedom and establishing himself in the starting line-up despite his injuries.
He was one of the most reliable defenders during the season and naturally played left center back and left back when he was needed.
Barcelona knew there were many Premier League teams interested in bringing him back to England. Newcastle was one of them and the agents have conveyed these options to the player, making it clear that his absolute priority is to stay at the Blaugrana club, where he feels completely integrated and very comfortable.
Barcelona needs to make money this summer so that it can reduce the salary limit to be able to sign new deals, but the red lines in the basic strength of the team will not be crossed. The club is very clear in having untouchable players and Andreas Christensen is one of them.
The sports administration has already informed those around him and warned them that the central defender is not for sale and that the short-term idea is to extend the contract that binds him to the Camp Nou until 2026.
Xavi Hernandez likes the performance of the Danish defender very much because of his ability to get the ball out and Barcelona’s intention is to extend his contract. The idea is for him to start talking next year to sign a long-term contract because his age is perfect.
Barcelona, given the current financial situation, tend to listen to offers because a million sale to Christensen would have left plenty of net benefit for the club’s coffers, but Joan Laporta has already made it clear that key players will not be compromised as with the Dane.
