Chelsea's contract talks with Andreas Christensen have stalled amid a two-month lack of contact between both parties over a new deal, Goal can exclusively reveal.
The 25-year-old has been in the form of his life at Stamford Bridge but his current contract expires in June 2022, leaving him open to talk to clubs overseas from January 1.
However, despite the Dane's intention to remain in west London, the current offer would keep him among the lowest earners in the squad.
In the summer of 2021, under Frank Lampard, Chelsea only offered Christensen a one-year extension to his current contract with no pay rise.
After Tuchel's arrival in January, Christensen then began to start regularly and was offered an 18-month contract with a slightly larger salary.
