The Daily Sports Daily reported that Christensen's situation has been completely reversed. Barcelona had previously listed it for sale due to overcrowding of the backcourt, but with the departure of Inigor Martinez, the Danish central defender has now become an indispensable person.

In the new season, Christensen will receive a lot of playing time, and the current situation of only one year remaining in the contract prompts the club to consider renewing the contract. The sports director plans to start negotiations after the transfer window is closed in August, and plans to add one more contract to prevent him from leaving the team freely in 2026.

The 27-year-old defender has always been determined to stay in the team and refuses to negotiate even when facing invitations from Saudi Arabia and Premier League teams. He showed good form in the preseason and was highly appreciated by coach Flick's team. In fact, Barcelona was close to reaching a deal with Brentford in January, but was stranded due to a sudden injury to the player. After almost a season of injuries, Christensen, who has fully recovered, is expected to explode this season.

The all-rounder attributes add competitiveness to it, and can serve as a central defender and play a guest midfielder, but will mainly guard the core area of the back defense in the new season. Although playing time needs to be shared with Araujo, Kubasi and Eric Garcia, his ability to play and tactical literacy may bring surprises. The technical team has repeatedly emphasized to the management that this player with outstanding professional qualities is perfectly in line with the team system.
