Barcelona is making rapid progress in assembling their team for the upcoming campaign. The team now needs to make room by letting go of some players after making some significant acquisitions. Andreas Christensen is the defender most likely to depart this summer, according to MARCA.
Deco, the sporting director of Barcelona, has stated that one of the team’s five center backs will have to leave. With the newcomers, Barcelona has made progress. They are close to signing Roony Bardghji, have already signed Joan Garcia, and are putting a lot of effort into completing a deal for Nico Williams.
However, the club must let go of some players in order to smoothly register these new players and limit the pay cost. While Alex Valle and Clement Lenglet have already resolved their futures, Christensen’s predicament is currently the center of attention.
Christensen, who moved from Chelsea to Barcelona, has only one year remaining on his deal. The Danish defender aims to battle for more playing time under Hansi Flick and wants to remain with the team until the end of his contract.

However, Andreas Christensen is adamant about staying in Barcelona, according to information posted on Que t’hi Jugues today. With one year left on his contract, the Danish center-back plans to finish it out. He has really already declined offers from Saudi Arabia and a January transfer to Juventus.
Christensen and his family are reportedly quite happy in Barcelona, according to sources close to the player, and he is satisfied with the way the club and the supporters have treated him. Christensen played effectively near the end of the season when he was available, despite the fact that injuries limited his playing time this year.
According to people close to him, the Danish international plans to keep up his hard work in order to get more playing time under Hansi Flick next season. Given that Ronald Araujo’s release clause is set at €65 million for the first two weeks of July, he may be a departure prospect if Christensen sticks to his guns.
