I’ll leave the club by January – Chelsea world-class player sends a message to Tuchel about his future
Andreas Christensen says Thomas Tuchel is showing him
confidence despite their being uncertain over his future at Chelsea.
Since Tuchel’s appointment in January, Christensen has
come in from the cold to playing a major role in the Blues’ backline.
Christensen has already made 13 appearances for Chelsea
this term in all competitions which has seen the club try to extend his
contract beyond next summer when it is due to expire.
Talks were believed to be going well and an agreement was
all but done, but a change in demands regarding the terms has thrown
uncertainty into Dane’s future.
The 25-year-old is wanted by Tuchel, with Antonio
Rudiger’s future also up in the air, and Christensen spoke highly of the
Chelsea boss amid the contract uncertainty.
Speaking to Danish outlet BT, as quoted by the Athletic,
the central defender admitted on his contract situation: “I do not know why everyone thinks it is a bad
situation. I’m still happy and I enjoy playing football
“Yes (Chelsea will
have an interest in securing their player), but on the other hand, they also
have a player who right now enjoys playing football and the coach shows him
confidence. There is no bad relationship, there is nothing.”
Christensen will be free to talk to other clubs from
January 1 should an extension not be agreed, finalised and confirmed prior to
the end of the year.
