Revealed: How much Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen is demanding to sign a new contract
Last Updated: January 23, 2022 10:55 pm
A fresh update on Andreas Christensen’s contract situation has been provided on Sunday.
The update comes from football.london, citing German outlet Sport 1 and the Chelsea Chronicle.
FL claim that German giants Bayern Munich were in contact with Christensen’s representatives last month. But, as it stands, the stopper has not ruled out extending his Chelsea contract.
However, he is also looking for a pay rise. Christensen is reportedly among the lowest earners in the Blues squad, with a pre-tax weekly salary of £84,000-per-week.
In turn, the 25-year-old wants to double his salary to almost £8.4 million-per-year.

What has Tuchel said about Christensen’s contract?
At the back end of 2021, Thomas Tuchel, despite his previously nailed-down spot in the eleven, dropped Christensen for several games in a row.
At the time, the Chelsea boss revealed his hope that the move would influence Christensen’s’ contract decision, and that it was his understanding there would be good news about the situation in short order: “We have the hope that it influences the contract situation a little bit. My understanding was that it’s a matter of a very short period before we have good news.
“I said this I think in the international break, that it’s for me a matter of days where we think that we can have good news about Andreas.
“As I understood it the club wants the same, the player wants the same, the coach wants the same: to stay. That’s why we need the commitment and then we can continue.”
That, though, was in December, and we are still seemingly no closer to a new deal being agreed between club and player.
