Barcelona defender could reunite with ex-teammate as Saudi giants eye summer move | Barca Universal
"Christensen has always wanted to continue at Barcelona beyond the length of his current contract. However, the 29-year-old defender will begin considering alternatives with no renewal offer coming from the club. Now, according to 365Scores (h/t SPORT), Christensen has an offer on the table from a Saudi Arabian club interested in taking him on for the next stage of his career. Al-Nassr want to reunite the Barcelona centre-back with his former teammate, Inigo Martinez, and have begun sounding out the player."
"Al Nassr had already asked about Christensen last summer and even offered a transfer fee close to €15 million. At that time, Barcelona were open to a sale due to the player having only one year left on his contract. Christensen, however, rejected the idea. He has repeatedly stated that he signed a four-year deal with the club and would honour it in full."
Andreas Christensen's contract at Barcelona ends at season's close and he has not yet received a renewal offer. Al-Nassr have presented an offer and seek to reunite him with former teammate Inigo Martinez after previously offering close to €15 million last summer. Christensen rejected that transfer and committed to his four-year Barca contract. Representatives will prioritize Barcelona but will begin exploring options from January if no renewal appears. Barcelona have delayed renewal talks partly due to Christensen's physical problems, though coaching staff value his versatility and composure on the ball. Christensen could negotiate freely in January.
