"Barcelona's defence still does not have a single clear-cut starting combination, with Hansi Flick regularly changing Pau Cubarsi's partner based on the nature of the opponent. While Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo have seen relatively regular minutes in that respect, however, Andreas Christensen has not been as lucky and is still struggling for minutes. Given that the player's contract runs out next summer, his future at the club is unclear."
"As relayed by in a recent report, Atletico Madrid are keeping a close eye on Christensen and do not rule him out as an emergency target for January, given the defensive crisis they are facing. Los Rojiblancos have been underperforming at the back in recent games and see the need for a new experienced option to lead the back-line. With Mateu Alemany recently arriving on the administrative scene, Barcelona's Christensen has emerged as a serious target."
Barcelona's defence lacks a settled central pairing, with Hansi Flick regularly altering Pau Cubarsi's partner depending on opponents. Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo have received relatively consistent minutes, while Andreas Christensen has struggled for playing time. Christensen's contract expires next summer and Barcelona have made no renewal decision, leaving his future uncertain. Atletico Madrid are monitoring Christensen and consider him a potential January emergency signing amid defensive problems. Atletico view him as an experienced, low-risk option who could integrate immediately. Barcelona could sell in January to avoid losing him for free in June. Christensen is currently recovering from illness and likely unavailable for the Clasico.
