It is confirmed who will be the first to leave Barcelona next summer

The future of Andreas Christensen at FC Barcelona seems to be defined. Despite being a player valued by Hansi Flick, the Catalan club would have already decided to part ways with the Danish center-back in the upcoming summer transfer window. His continuous physical issues have affected his season, almost limiting him to inactivity, leading the sports management to reconsider his continuity.

Barça's intention is to find him an exit through a sale, as the player has only one more year left on his contract. However, his lack of playing time complicates the possibility of receiving interesting offers. Therefore, it is expected that he may have a bit more prominence in the final stretch of the season to attract suitors. If a satisfactory transfer is not achieved, the club does not rule out extending his contract for another year to prevent him from leaving for free in 2026.

The decision about his departure is made, and a replacement would already be in place

Christensen arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea and delivered a good performance in his initial seasons, standing out for his defensive solidity and ability to also play as a midfielder. Nevertheless, injuries have hindered his progress, causing other players like Cubarsí, Íñigo Martínez, or Araujo to surpass him in the rotation. This is why Sport reports that the decision may have been already made.

Barça, already planning for the next season, is considering strengthening the defense with a new center-back, with Jonathan Tah being one of the options on the agenda. Meanwhile, Brentford remains interested in Christensen and could negotiate his signing in the coming months. The azulgrana club does not want to give him away but is also unwilling to let his contract expire without gaining any benefits.
