FC Barcelona seems to have made an important decision regarding the future of Andreas Christensen. Despite his outstanding performance since joining the club in 2022, current circumstances suggest that the Danish center-back could be on the transfer list for the upcoming transfer windows.
The start of the season hasn't been ideal for Christensen. His only appearance was in the LaLiga opening match against Valencia at Mestalla, where he came on in the second half replacing Pau Cubarsí. Days later, the club confirmed he was suffering from Achilles tendon tendinopathy in his left leg, an injury that troubled him last season as well. The conservative treatment advised by the doctors has kept him off the pitch since then, and his return is not expected before January.
This situation allowed Barça to register Dani Olmo under the long-term injury regulation, a move that raised some doubts, although the Dane's physical condition supports the decision. However, as reported in Sport, his extended absence and the wide array of center-backs in the team have led the sporting direction to consider his departure.
Christensen has no place in either defense or midfield
Christensen's contract expires in 2026, but the chances of profit from his transfer diminish if the club doesn't act soon. With the potential arrival of Jonathan Tah and trust in young talents like Cubarsí, alongside established players like Jules Koundé and Iñigo Martínez, the competition in his position is fierce.
Although Hansi Flick valued his versatility as a midfielder in critical moments, the club's financial needs and future planning place the Dane on the exit door, possibly in the summer of 2025.
