The defender is in the last year of his current contract and, for the moment, no details have been provided regarding the extension of his contract with Catalonia.
Christensen joined FC Barcelona from Chelsea in 2022 and posted great regularity during his three years at the club. However, his history of injuries arouses concerns and, taking into account the recruitment project of a new central defender next summer, it is not guaranteed that an extension is offered to him.

However, this is precisely what Christensen wishes: MD reports that the Danish international ardently wishes to stay in Barcelona beyond his current contract.
Christensen publicly confirms his wish to stay in Barcelona.
He also confirmed this information at the pre-match press conference (via Diario AS) preceding the opening match of the Barcelona Champions League against Newcastle United.
Last year was difficult for me. I refused the national team because I wanted to stay here and make a good pre-season. They accepted my proposal. By renewing my contract, I think I have expressed my feelings and my love for the club. I want to stay here. »»
Christensen was the favorite to be sold by Barcelona during the summer transfer window, and he aroused a lot of interest. But with Iñigo Martinez, he was firmly decided that he would continue, even if it has not yet changed the situation concerning his contract, because there is still a high probability that he leaves free in nine months.
For the moment, Deco's decision remains to be seen, but many will depend on the performances of Christensen throughout the season.
