Barcelona ready to cash in on Andreas Christensen

Champions League

Borussia Dortmund

Barcelona

<p>Barcelona hold a commanding lead in LaLiga, and while their attacking prowess is their standout feature, it's evident that their success wouldn't be achievable without the solid defensive structure built by Hansi Flick, even amid key absences. The rise of Pau Cubarsi and the growing importance of Inigo Martinez have been crucial. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/ronald-araujo-barcelona-future-contract-return-from-injury/bltebdc95512496097b" target="_self">As Ronald Araujo nears his return</a>, it appears that Andreas Christensen may struggle to regain his spot in the squad once he's fully fit.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <em>Sport</em>, Barcelona's management holds some regard for the Danish center-back, but once he completes his regenerative cell treatment and returns to full fitness, he will be significantly behind in the competition for playing time. As a result, the club may be open to listening to offers in January, especially with an eye on raising funds for potential new signings.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Christensen's contract with the Catalans runs until June 2026, meaning next season will be the final one under his current terms. However, there have been no discussions about a contract renewal yet, unlike with Ronald Araujo, who could return in December. Araujo will face a challenge to reclaim his spot in the defense, despite being one of the team's captains. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Christensen underwent surgery on his tendons in both legs and received cellular regenerative therapy in a bid to finally get rid of his lingering injury problems. However, as a setback, the former Chelsea man is not expected to return to fitness at least until the end of January. </p>
