Apart from the possible arrival of a left winger and a center forward, FC Barcelona also aims to incorporate a reinforcement for the center of defense and Jonathan Tah is the chosen one. The German's contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires at the end of the season and the Blaugrana have advanced significantly in signing him for free, although it would have repercussions on the squad.
According to 'Relevo', the idea of the Blaugrana sports management is to close the center of the defense for the 2025/26 season with Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, and the aforementioned German as 'tools' for Hansi Flick. A plan that puts Eric García and especially Andreas Christensen in a delicate situation, with their futures in the Catalan capital in question.
The one from Martorell still has chances to continue wearing the Blaugrana jersey next season, as the coach values his versatility and in recent weeks his performance has increased the club's confidence in him. The present of '24' contrasts sharply with that of the Dane, whose physical problems have kept him sidelined for almost the entire season, and his stay in the Catalan capital is more uncertain than ever.
Barça will look for an exit for Christensen
And to make room for Tah in the squad, it is necessary to part ways with a center-back. The renewals of Cubarsí, Iñigo, and Araujo secure them for the future, which is why Christensen would be the club's major 'sacrifice', as they already tried to listen to offers for him in the winter, but his injury in the soleus of his right leg ended up thwarting his departure.
The player hopes to return next Saturday, February 22, against Las Palmas, starting his path to redemption at Spotify Camp Nou. However, if he fails to turn around his situation at the club, the Catalans will put him on the exit ramp once the summer window opens. Proposals will not be lacking, as clubs from the Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga have already shown interest in his services, so it seems that the '15' has his hours numbered at Barça.
