According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, the sale of Christensen is crucial to increase the salary, so as to successfully register new players such as Joan Garcia and Nico Williams, who will be joining.
Christensen is one of the candidates who may leave Barcelona. His own wish is to continue to stay in the team, but if he completely loses playing time in Barcelona, he may consider other options.
Christensen is still convinced that he can compete with KuBazi, Inigo Martinez and Araujo for the season's chances. Only if Barcelona clearly informs him that the chances of entering the rotation lineup under Fric's command are slim, his position may change, and Eric Garcia can also serve as the central defender.
If marginalized, Christensen has already made clear where he wants. He played for Chelsea in the Premier League and is still interested in continuing his career in a country that suits his family life.
In this context, Christensen may accept invitations from other La Liga clubs or Serie A teams. In fact, he had rejected AC Milan's offer in the winter transfer window.
Saudi Arabia also sent invitations, but went to the Middle East and lacked appeal to it. Christensen attached great importance to family opinions. He adapted well in Spain and believed that there would be no obstacles to switching to Italy.
AC Milan may restart negotiations and attempt to introduce Christensen, who has only one year left in the contract. Barcelona hopes to facilitate transfers to exchange funds, with the primary goal of releasing its high salary. It should be emphasized that Barcelona was exempted from signing the player from Chelsea that year, which increased his salary level.
In any case, Christensen's only current goal is to strive for Flick's reuse. He suffered from injuries last season and eventually underwent Achilles tendon surgery to cure the pain.
Christensen won some of the chances at the end of the season, including the key Champions League match against Inter Milan and the league final stages against Valladolid, Real Madrid and Espanyol.
For Christensen, it will be a long summer, and he needs to wait for Frick's final plan and the results of the team's lineup. If the club receives a heavy offer for Araujo, its prospects for staying in the team may change.
