Barcelona have extended Danish defender Andreas Christensen’s contract until June 2028, the Spanish champions said on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old centre-back, whose previous deal expired at the end of June, has struggled with recurring injuries during his spell at Camp Nou.
According to Spanish media reports, Christensen has accepted a significant pay cut in order to remain at the club.
“FC Barcelona and Andreas Christensen have reached an agreement for the extension of the Danish defender’s contract, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2028,” the club said in a statement.
Christensen joined Barcelona from Chelsea in 2022 and played a key role in their La Liga title-winning campaign in his debut season.
Since arriving in Spain, the Denmark international has made 98 appearances for the club, winning three La Liga titles and a Copa del Rey among other honours.
