"Christensen joined Barcelona in 2022 on a free transfer from Chelsea. He played a significant role in his first two seasons at the club under Xavi Hernandez: in 2022/23, he made 32 appearances, and in 2023/24, he played 42 matches, starting 38 of them. However, across the following two seasons, Christensen's involvement was reduced due to competition in defence and recurring injuries. This decline in influence led to his future being questioned in several transfer markets."
"In the summer of 2024, Barça had already planned for Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez to play leading roles, placing Christensen's name on the transfer list. However, a serious Achilles tendon problem halted any move. In January earlier this year, with the injury almost resolved, his name reappeared on Deco's outgoing list, but the long recovery process and his resistance to leaving again prevented his departure."
Andreas Christensen has no plan B and his Barcelona contract expires in June with renewal uncertain. He joined Barcelona in 2022 on a free transfer from Chelsea and was a key centre-back under Xavi, making 32 appearances in 2022/23 and 42 in 2023/24. Playing time declined over the next two seasons because of defensive competition and recurring injuries, prompting transfer interest. Barcelona placed him on the transfer list in summer 2024 but a serious Achilles tendon problem stopped a move. A lengthy recovery and his reluctance to leave kept him at the club, and he remains hopeful of a renewal.
