Several FC Barcelona defenders were linked with potential exits during the last summer transfer window, but the only unexpected departure from the backline was that of Inigo Martinez.
The Spaniard left the Catalan club to join the Saudi side Al-Nassr, and Hansi Flick has relied on other players like Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, and Andreas Christensen to partner with Pau Cubarsi in the center of his defense this season.
However, Christensen himself could soon be on the move. According to a report from [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20251023/1002555786/colocan-christensen-orbita-atletico.html), the Danish defender is reportedly on Atletico Madrid’s radar as a potential signing for next season.
The 29-year-old’s contract with Barcelona expires in June 2026, and this situation makes him an attractive market opportunity for several European clubs, including Atletico.
His experience in La Liga and solid performances since arriving at Barça have reportedly convinced Diego Simeone’s side that he would be a valuable addition to strengthen their defense.
For now, [it remains unclear what Barcelona’s plans are regarding Christensen](https://semprebarca.com/barcelona-delay-decision-on-e12-million-rated-players-contract-extension/), or whether the player himself is open to a move. Still, given his quality, composure on the ball, and familiarity with Spanish football, it is easy to understand why Atletico Madrid would see him as a luxury reinforcement.
