World Sports: Barcelona is promoting contract renewal with Eric Garcia, and will not consider renewing Christensen

"World Sports" reported that Barcelona is promoting a contract renewal with Eric Garcia and does not consider renewing Christensen for the time being.

After the summer transfer market is closed, Barcelona will start handling the pending renewal matters, giving priority to players whose contract expires in 2026. Negotiations with De Jong and contract revision have accelerated. Eric Garcia's contract renewal has not yet been started but is not expected to be hindered. Christensen's negotiations are the most lagging, and the club has not yet included it on the agenda.

Barcelona sports management will focus on renewal of key players. Garcia, who came from youth training, is the primary goal. Sports director Deco will immediately start negotiations after returning from Brazil, while the renewal of the Danish central defender is not on the agenda.

Christensen's importance at the beginning of this season is very different from last season's situation. When he played against Vallecano in the last round, he started with Eric Garcia at the center back. The club originally planned to sell the central defender this summer, but management reassessed its situation due to Inigor Martinez's departure. The player himself had no intention of leaving the team and had not received a quote that would change his wishes.

Eric Garcia's contract renewal should have been completed long ago, but it is still open. The club has not yet laid the negotiation foundation for the central defender, who also expires in 2026. According to internal news from Barcelona, ​​this youth training player, who is deeply trusted by Frick, hopes to stay in the team. He is filling the leader vacancy left by Inigor Martinez after he switched to the Saudi league.
