Spanish media reports have revealed updates regarding the future of Danish defender Andreas Christensen, a player for Barcelona, amid speculation about the possibility of his departure from the club in the upcoming period.

Christensen's contract with Barcelona ends in the summer of 2026, but the newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" indicated that the player could leave during the summer transfer market of the same year.

The newspaper mentioned that there is interest from some Saudi clubs in acquiring Christensen, despite the absence of official offers so far, and clarified that Barcelona's management does not oppose the player's departure, aiming to achieve financial benefits and reduce the burden on the salary bill, although Christensen does not seem enthusiastic about the idea of leaving at this time.

The report added that the Danish defender may prefer to stay until the end of his contract and leave for free, but his limited participation with Barcelona could negatively affect his chances of representing his country in the upcoming World Cup, should Denmark qualify.

Currently, Barcelona has five defenders in the center-back position: Koundé, Iñigo Martínez, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araújo, and Andreas Christensen, in addition to the possibility of relying on Jules Koundé in the same position.

"Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that coach Hans Flick values Christensen's abilities and does not oppose his continuation, but he expresses some reservations about his recurring injuries.

The coming weeks are expected to finalize Christensen's future with Barcelona.
