It is beyond perplexing to imagine a scenario where the financial troubles of Barcelona would just vanish away. The Catalan giants remain in deep trouble when it comes to their economic situation, but they continue to find alternative options. Even now, despite their worries, Barcelona hope to continue building a better team next season.

Yet, that does not mean that every player from this season will retain their place. Many of the Barcelona players who have been deemed as under-performers during this campaign will be placed in a limbo of sorts where Barcelona would be more than open to listening to offers for them.

Very few players will ultimately manage to avoid this rather worrying fate. Among them, the likes of Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal are some of the obvious shouts. However, according to SPORT, another name at Barcelona could find himself remaining at the club for another season based off of the respect he has gained from the coaches.

Andreas Christensen, aged 28, continues to be one of Xavi Hernandez’s most trusted soldiers. The people at Barcelona especially seem to respect his determination to continue playing and showing up for the team even in tense moments and despite the fact that he has been asked to constantly switch up his position.

After being instructed to play as a pivot, the Danish defender filled that role perfectly. Moreover, he also managed to contribute crucial goals to the team in high-profile games such as the ones against PSG, Real Madrid, and even against Girona.

While the objective would be to have him return as a central defender next season, his ability to be versatile enough to play as a pivot continues to impress Barcelona. On the financial side of things, he arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea and a potential sale could generate nothing but profit for Barça. On the sporting side of things, however, it seems that Xavi and his staff have no complaints about Christensen.
