According to the Spanish media "Fichajes", Christensen, who has played very little time in Barcelona, has received close attention from Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona’s defense has yet to form a clear fixed combination. Head coach Hansi Flick has always frequently adjusted the central defender to partner Kubas based on the characteristics of the opponent.
Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo have received relatively stable playing time in this regard, but Andreas Christensen has been far less lucky than them and is still struggling for playing time.
Considering that the player's contract will expire next summer, his future at the club is unclear. Barcelona has not yet made a decision on a contract extension, but has not ruled out the possibility of allowing him to leave the team on a free agency.
According to the media report, Atletico Madrid is paying close attention to Christensen's movements. In view of the defensive crisis the team is currently facing, it is not ruled out that he will be listed as an emergency signing target in the January transfer window.
The Red and White Legion's recent performance on the defensive end has not met expectations, and they believe that they need to introduce experienced new players to lead the defense. With Mateu Alemani recently entering the management team, Barcelona's Christensen has become a key signing target.
Although the veteran defender's contract does not expire until next summer, Atletico Madrid does not rule out the possibility of signing him early in January if Atletico Madrid's defensive situation continues to fail to improve and Barcelona is willing to accept a reasonable offer. They believe that the risks of this transfer are controllable and the players can plug and play.
At this stage, Barcelona has not offered a contract extension to the defender. His performance and physical condition will determine his future direction. But if the club decides to sell, January would be the best time to avoid being left empty-handed next June.
All eyes are now on Flick and how he will position the veteran in the coming weeks. However, it should be noted that the players are still recovering from the disease and will most likely miss this weekend's El Clasico.
