- The loan runs through June 2026, giving Hansi Flick an immediate option who can cover both full-back positions.
- LaLiga’s framework allowing up to 80% of Christensen’s salary space enabled the registration after a brief paperwork delay that temporarily pulled the initial announcement.
- Spanish reports say the loan costs about €5 million and his Barça wages will not exceed €3 million.
- After limited action at Al‑Hilal under Simone Inzaghi, the Portugal international is targeting regular minutes to regain form ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
