1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 15th According to World Sports News, although Barcelona is positive about Christensen’s transfer and leaving the team, head coach Flick believes that the Danish international has the technical ability to stay in the team.
Christensen, 29, is on the verge of leaving the team. He has suffered from injuries in the past season and his contract with Barcelona will expire in 2026. Some Saudi clubs have expressed interest in Christensen, but no formal offer has been made. Christensen joined Barcelona as a free agent, so his transfer will bring a net income to the club.
While Barcelona hopes Christensen leaves the team to save salary space, Christensen does not seem to be in a hurry to leave, and he may choose to leave as a free agent after fulfilling his contract. However, next year is World Cup year, which may affect his decision.
Currently, Frick has five central defenders: Kubasi, Inigor Martinez, Eric Garcia, Araujo and Christensen. Among them, Eric Garcia can also serve as a substitute for Conde.
Frick recognized Christensen’s technical ability very much, especially his performance against Real Madrid after returning from injury. However, the player’s frequent injury problems still put Flick on some concerns.
The next few weeks will be a critical period for deciding Christensen’s stay or not. Barcelona will resume training on July 14, less than a month away.
