Barcelona stands firm on Christensen

Barcelona's management is still awaiting Andreas Christensen's response to the contract renewal offer presented to him several weeks ago. The club extended the offer following the defender's injury in December, which sidelined him for the remainder of the season, although he was included in the squad for the final two matches. President Laporta insisted on offering him a new contract, despite the Dane's limited playing time over the past two years due to frequent injuries.

However, the proposal comes with significantly reduced financial terms, cutting Christensen's salary by half compared to his current earnings. So far, the footballer has not accepted the offer, deeming it insufficient and hoping the club will improve it. This, however, will not happen. In their most recent conversation, the Blaugrana's sporting management made it clear to the player that this is their final offer.

Since then, Barça's position has remained unchanged, and the club has no intention of making further concessions. The deadline for a response is in one week. The player will have to inform the club whether he wishes to stay at Barcelona—with the offer being a one-year deal with an option for an automatic one-year extension upon meeting certain objectives—or if he will reject it and seek a new team this summer.
