Atletico Madrid plans to strengthen its defense in the upcoming period, as the new sporting director, Mateo Alemany, is keen on signing Andreas Christensen, the Barcelona defender, according to the website "Fichajes".

The source clarified that Alemany, who recently took over as Atletico Madrid's sporting director, is looking to bring in players he knows well from his previous time at Barcelona, with Christensen being at the top of that list, especially with his contract expiring in June 2026 and the possibility of leaving the Catalan club if his contract is not renewed.

The report indicated that Christensen, despite suffering from some injuries, is still highly regarded within Barcelona due to his experience and outstanding performance, but the uncertainty regarding the club's position on his future could open the door for his transfer to Wanda Metropolitano.

Alemany believes that signing Christensen would represent a strategic deal for Atletico Madrid, as it would provide the team with defensive stability and European experience without incurring significant financial costs if the player leaves for free.

According to the same source, Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring the situation, hoping to seize any opportunity to sign the Danish defender, as Atletico Madrid seeks to bolster its squad with players who possess the quality and experience necessary to compete in the upcoming season.
