Barcelona defender rejects the club’s first renewal offer amid interest from Premier League, Bundesliga
It has been a long time since Andreas Christensen represented Barcelona. The Dane had picked up a long-term injury during the first half of the season and has been sidelined since.
Things get trickier for Christensen this summer as his contract at Barça expires at the end of the season. He has been eligible to negotiate with any club over a free transfer since the start of January.
However, Barcelona remain keen on renewing the contract of Christensen, who is regarded highly due to his technical skill and versatility.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona had even tabled a contract renewal offer for Christensen that would have kept the Dane at the club for another year.
But it appears the former Chelsea defender has rejected Barça’s first proposal. This could be largely due to the fact that the club’s offer included a massive paycut from his previous salary.
