The former Chelsea man, who can play as both a central defender and a defensive midfielder, has been a regular in the first team selections of Xavi since February. While the Catalonians need to sell players this summer, in order to balance the books financially, Christensen will not be one of them.
The Catalan club will not take offers on him.
