Barcelona Delays Andreas Christensen Contract Decision as Planning Continues
Barcelona is pausing to evaluate its 2026/27 backline.
Overview
- The club has not opened renewal talks and intends to wait several months before deciding on the 29-year-old defender’s future.
- His current contract runs until June 2026, giving Barcelona time to assess its options before committing to new terms.
- Sporting leadership will consider his performances, potential market moves and a history of injuries before advancing negotiations.

- Frenkie de Jong’s extension is effectively complete and discussions with Eric García are progressing, placing Christensen lower on the renewal agenda.
