The La Liga leaders have plans to sign a defender, with these having been accelerated due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football-espana.net\/2025\/12\/21\/barcelona-defender-acl-tear\">Andreas Christensen suffering a partial ACL tear<\/a>, which is expected to see him ruled out of action for at least four months.<\/p>\n<p>Christensen\u2019s absence is a blow for Barcelona, but more so for him. The Denmark international has struggled for prominence over the last 18 months, and he could now be entering his final stage at the club.<\/p>\n<p>As per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sport.es\/es\/noticias\/barca\/lewandowski-christensen-libres-negociar-futuro-125174622\">Sport<\/a>, Christensen is one of two Barcelona players now able to open talks with other clubs. He and Robert Lewandowski are both into the final six months of their contracts, and with no renewal on the horizon for either, there are chances for negotiations to take place with any interested parties.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3617\" height=\"2411\" class=\"wp-image-325983 has-webp lazyload\" style=\"height:auto;max-width: 2048px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Lewandowski is no longer guaranteed a place in the starting XI.\" data-src=\"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fc-barcelona-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-min-3-scaled.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via David Ramos\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Lewandowski likely to leave, Christensen has chances to stay<\/h2>\n<p>In recent months, Barcelona have been drawing up a shortlist of possible striker signings for next summer, which would suggest that Lewandowski will not be offered the chance to extend his four-year stay in Catalonia. However, there is a better outlook for Christensen, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football-espana.net\/2025\/12\/22\/barcelona-consider-surprise-contract-renewal-for-injured-star\">with club president Joan Laporta said to be weighing up a renewal offer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Christensen and Lewandowski have been very good servants for Barcelona. Both arrived in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea and Bayern Munich respectively, and between them, they\u2019ve helped the Catalans win La Liga on two occasions \u2013 and it could be third come the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how the situations with both players plays out.
