According to MARCA, Barcelona want to sell Danish centre-back Andreas Christensen this summer to avoid selling him for free in 2026. Christensen joined the Catalan giants on a free transfer in the summer of 2022 after his deal with Chelsea expired.
Christensen has played 75 games for La Blaugrana since his arrival, scoring four goals and assisting three to help the team win one Laliga title and one Supercopa de Espana. Since he arrived on a free transfer, any transfer fee obtained would represent a profit for the Catalan giants.
The 28-year-old has struggled with injuries this season and has made just one league appearance. Barcelona are reportedly keen on signing centre-back Jonathan Tah as a free agent in the summer of 2025.

Dutch national team manager discusses Barcelona star's future
Oranje manager Ronald Koeman recently discussed the future of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong with the press. Koeman, who has played for and managed Barca, discussed the midfielder's love for the Catalan club.
De Jong joined Barca in the summer of 2019 from Ajax for a reported €86 million fee. The Dutchman has played 242 times for the Catalan giants, bagging 19 goals and 22 assists to help the team win one LaLiga, one Copa del Rey, and two Supercopas de Espana.
In a recent discussion with reporters, the Dutch national team boss discussed De Jong's future, saying (via Barcablaugranes):
“The other day he couldn’t play the entire match due to the problem he was carrying, but he’s a great player and has recovered the best possible form. I know he loves Barcelona, but I’m not the one to assess whether he should renew or stay with the team.”
De Jong is reportedly close to signing a contract extension which will keep him in Catalonia until the summer of 2029. His current deal with the club expires in 2026, and he has played 1380 minutes across 29 games this season under new manager Hansi Flick.
