Andreas Christensen's future at Barcelona is uncertain because his contract concludes at the end of the season and he has not yet agreed to a new contract. Barcelona is eager to retain him, but not under all circumstances. Sport reports that he has been offered a new contract on significantly reduced terms. The club understands he may receive better offers from other clubs, and his attitude is valued. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has the opportunity to sign Andreas Christensen on a free transfer. Christensen could provide more player options for the Gunners for an upcoming campaign. Mikel Arteta cannot offer him consistent playing time at the highest level. He would be a rotation player at Arsenal, which is the same status he would have at Barcelona.
