Barcelona sporting director Deco has confirmed the club’s plans for Andreas Christensen who is currently out injured and out of contract in the summer.

There’s also been talk that Joan Laporta is willing to hand the Dane a contract extension for another year, and Deco says the club will make an offer to the defender.

“With some players, such as Andreas, the idea was to follow his trajectory a little this season. He is a player who has given us a lot. In his first year here, with Xavi, he played a lot of games and was key in the league he won. He is a player of a very high level,” he told Sport.

“However, it is true that in recent years he has been very conditioned by injuries. The idea this season was to analyse their situation and, from there, decide how to proceed. The injury is a little ahead of that decision.

“We don’t want to leave the player in a complicated situation, because we believe that he will hardly be able to play between now and the end of the season.

“Therefore, the idea is to offer him something compatible, which we believe is fair. From there, the player is free to make decisions. He is not obliged to stay at Barça, but we are going to try, at least, that he has an offer on the table, that he can evaluate it and then decide what he considers best for his future.”

Christensen has said publicly that he wants to stay at Barcelona and that “he doesn’t have a Plan B” which suggests he’s likely to accept any offer that Barcelona make this summer.
