"Now, following a partial ACL rupture, he will spend four of those six months out on the sidelines, unable to convince the club or attract suitors with his performances on the field. Laporta wants to renew Christensen Given the circumstances, Barcelona president Joan Laporta is insisting on offering Christensen a new one-year contract extension, reports Ramon Salmurri on Catalunya Radio. Even though there has been some opposition to the idea from within the club, Laporta appears to be firm on his stance as he does not wish to 'abandon' Christensen in this difficult situation."
"It must be noted that Christensen has always maintained that he wishes to stay at Barça beyond the duration of his current contract. Despite his limited minutes, largely due to fitness issues, the 29-year-old centre-back continues to be held in high regard at the club due to his quality and professionalism. So, it will not come as a surprise to see Barcelona offer the former Chelsea ace a one-year extension, although it may likely come with an adjustment in his salary."
Andreas Christensen suffered a partial ACL rupture that will keep him out for four of the final six months of his contract, which expires in June 2026. Barcelona president Joan Laporta is intent on offering a one-year extension despite internal opposition and Christensen's recent fitness problems. Christensen has expressed a desire to remain at the club and is regarded for his quality and professionalism. He has missed around 81 matches since joining in 2022 due to injury, prompting club apprehension and likely salary adjustment if an extension is offered.
