Andreas Christensen will not continue at FC Barcelona next season. Although his contract extends until June 2026, the club has already informed him that he is not part of their future plans, opening the door to an imminent exit. The decision has not been easy, as the new coach Hansi Flick had a positive opinion of the Danish center. However, the sports management, led by Deco, has firmly favored other profiles, leaving no space for the former Chelsea player.
The heart of the Barça defense is well covered. Pau Cubarsí and Íñigo Martínez have established themselves as starters in the final stretch of the season, while Ronald Araújo, despite a more discreet role this year, is considered non-transferable. They are ed by Eric García, whose versatility has been crucial, and Jules Koundé, who can also play as a center-back. Even the young Sergi Domínguez from the reserves will have a more relevant role next season.

Faced with this excess of options, as reported by the newspaper AS, Barça has decided to free up space in the squad and reduce the wage bill. Christensen, who earns around 9 million gross per season, represents a good selling opportunity, especially because he arrived on a free transfer in 2022, so his transfer would mean a clean profit for the club's finances.
Injuries have been a constant burden for the Scandinavian defender, who has only been able to play in 80 matches over three years. Now, his future could be in Saudi Arabia, where Al Nassr has shown interest. Although his departure will depend on the offers he receives, it is clear that in Flick's new project, there is no place for Christensen. Barça needs to lighten the squad, and the Dane is the first on the way out.
