Andreas Christensen faces his last months as a blaugrana. His contract with Barcelona expires in June 2026, and all signs point to him not extending his stay at Can Barça.

Christensen arrived for free from Chelsea in 2022, and despite injuries and ups and downs, he has had standout moments in the Barça defense.

Andreas Christensen and the hypothetical free departure

Formal negotiations for a contract extension for Christensen have not started at Barcelona. In fact, the club seems willing to let him leave freely.

Deco, the sporting director, admitted that "there is no rush to renew" and that they will assess his performance this season before deciding.

The Barça squad will need to adjust if Christensen leaves, as his departure would free up wage bill and space in the central dressing room.

Atlético de Madrid, with Alemany, goes for the signing

With the addition of Mateu Alemany as a new executive at Atlético de Madrid, Christensen's name emerges among the desired ones.

Alemany coincided with Christensen during his time at Barcelona, giving him an advantage within the Colchonero range.

Recent reports claim that Atlético sees the Dane as an ideal candidate to strengthen the defense, the weakest area of the field.

Advantages and challenges of his arrival at the Wanda Metropolitano

Christensen brings experience in LaLiga, leadership skills, and adaptation to the Spanish system —qualities that make him suitable to assume responsibilities immediately.

However, he must show physical continuity. Injuries have marked his recent path and will be crucial in his assessment.

Furthermore, Atlético will compete with other entities for his signature when he becomes a free agent and will need to convince the player with a sporting project and compelling proposals.

Gaining ground against rivals will also require speed in securing the deal: the time as a free footballer is short when there are many suitors.

If Christensen eventually leaves Barcelona, a move to Atlético with Alemany would position him as an important piece in the new Rojiblanco project. A gamble without spending on a center-back with potential.

Andreas Christensen faces a decisive outcome ahead: accepting the overdue renewal or embracing a leading role far from Catalonia. His next step will be crucial in defining the immediate future of several defenses in LaLiga.
