Barcelona Near Reduced-Wage Extension for Andreas Christensen
The push signals Barcelona’s plan to keep a trusted veteran on lower pay despite an injury-hit year.
Overview
- Multiple reports Friday say talks have progressed and club officials are moving toward a new deal, with no contract signed yet.
- Andreas Christensen is willing to take a significant pay cut and has prioritized staying at Barcelona over richer offers elsewhere.
- Outlets differ on the proposed term, with Mundo Deportivo reporting a two-season deal toward 2028 and SPORT citing a one-year offer with an option.
- The 30-year-old recently returned from a serious knee issue after a season limited to 17 appearances, roughly 515 minutes, and four starts.
- Barcelona could still sell the defender if they land a marquee center-back, with Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni linked and budget limits a factor.
