FC Barcelona is still planning what its squad will look like next season. With the signings section practically closed, Deco wants to step on the gas with some important sales. With his contract ending in 2026 and many center-backs in the first team, all eyes are on Andreas Christensen. He is 29 years old and seems like the perfect candidate to leave Camp Nou.
Christensen has made a decision
On the table, Andreas Christensen has very strong offers from Saudi Arabia. Even though he knows he is not in Barça's plans, the defender has made a final decision. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that the Danish center-back has already told his closest circle that "next season I'm going to play for FC Barcelona". He has no doubt and no one will make him change his mind.
Both he and his family are delighted in the capital of Catalonia and he is sure he can turn things around. It's true he has played little in Hansi Flick's first year, but it has been precisely because of injury problems. He intends to work harder than ever to earn minutes on the field and he trusts he can convince the German coach to keep him in the squad.
In this regard, Christensen has definitively rejected the offers from Saudi Arabia, which would have tripled his current salary. He is sure his future lies with Barça, but if he leaves, he would prefer to go to another European team.
Andreas Christensen bets everything on Barça
Andreas Christensen has been one of the most profitable operations for FC Barcelona in recent years. The Danish center-back arrived in the summer of 2022 as a free agent from Chelsea and, since then, he has become a reliable piece for the blaugrana defense.
In three seasons as a culer, he has played 80 official matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists, always leaving an impression of reliability and commitment. His calm style, tactical reading, and good ball distribution have been key to fitting into Barça's defensive system.
His time at the club has been accompanied by collective successes: 2 La Ligas, 1 Copa del Rey, and 1 Spanish Super Cup decorate his record. Although he has not always been an undisputed starter, his performance has far exceeded the expectations caused by his arrival.
At 29 years old, Andreas Christensen still has plenty left in the tank and represents one of the best free signings in FC Barcelona's recent history. A quiet but decisive player who has left his mark without needing to make noise.
