The 2024-2025 season has been a challenge for Andreas Christensen, defender of FC Barcelona. He has only played 26 minutes due to the constant injuries he has suffered.
The blaugrana club has made a clear decision regarding his future: the Dane must play some minutes before the season ends. The goal is to confirm that he is in full form and, in that way, facilitate his departure next transfer market.
A Complicated Year for Christensen
Since his arrival at Barcelona in 2022, Christensen has faced physical problems that have limited his participation. The current season has been especially difficult, with a significant Achilles tendon injury that led him to surgery.
Additionally, last season he also suffered constant pain that affected his performance. Despite this, his commitment and professionalism were never in doubt.
However, the reality is that the Dane has only played 26 minutes so far this season, in the first LaLiga match against Valencia in August. Since then, injuries have hindered his return to the field. Although Christensen's intention is to fulfill his contract, the club has other priorities to strengthen the defense.
Christensen's Future at Barça
Christensen signed with Barcelona until 2026, but the management is determined to transfer him this summer. The idea is not to wait until 2026, when his contract ends, and avoid him leaving for free.
The club has already tried to sell him in the last two transfer markets, but without success. The arrival of new center-backs, like Jonathan Tah, is emerging as one of the options to strengthen the defense.
Although his future seems to be moving away from Camp Nou, Christensen is still considered an exemplary professional. Barcelona is willing to listen to offers, but for that, they need the player to regain his best level, something he can only achieve by playing minutes.
The Importance of Minutes
For Christensen's transfer to become a reality, Barcelona knows they need to see the player in action. The club's coaches trust that some playing minutes will be key to evaluating his physical condition and ensuring he is fully recovered. Additionally, this would increase his market value.
Earlier this month, Christensen was close to returning, but a soleus injury prevented it. Despite this setback, the club remains confident that he will be able to play some matches before the season ends. If this happens, the possibility of a sale will be much more realistic.
