Barcelona reach decision on new contract for defender – Football España

Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen has looked like a probable departure from the club for some time, but it appears he will be staying at the club. The Danish defender is out of contract this summer, and Barcelona have not offered him a new deal.

Christensen has declared a desire to remain at the club, and has stated that he is happy in Catalonia. As such, he has not been in talks with other clubs over a move next summer. Barcelona had not made a decision on his future, but had offered other players out of contract this summer new deals, with the exception of Robert Lewandowski, whose future is up in the air. After suffering a cruciate ligament injury and being ruled out until at least April, it seems that he could be in the final stages of his Barcelona career.

Barcelona to offer new deal to Christensen

However it appears that he will have the chance to stay at the club next season. In recent weeks, it had been suggested that President Joan Laporta was keen to hold onto Christensen, particularly in light of his misfortune with injury. Marca report that a decision has now been made on Christensen, and that he will be offered a new one-year contract extension.
