The Danish defender's contract was scheduled to expire at the end of the season, but he has now 'finalized discussions' with the Champions League champions about a new agreement.
Chelsea allegedly offered Andreas Christensen a wage cut in their initial contract offer to the defender.
According to Sun, the starting offer in contract extension discussions was less than his current weekly pay of £78,000 at the club.
This comes after the club considered selling the Danish central defense in January 2020, before he went on a run of success that has elevated him to the team's crucial position.
However, he has allegedly completed discussions on a new £120,000-per-week contract, with the finer details still being worked out before an official announcement is made.
Christensen's current contract expires at the end of the season, but after appearing in four of Chelsea's first five league games, the club was eager to sign him to a long-term contract.

I received the impression that it took a little of [a] push for him to believe in himself, impose himself, and trust in his talent because he has everything that we want in these roles.
Another outstanding performance. You may see it in a matter of minutes.
We are completely reliant on him, and he has performed admirably thus far, and it is everyone's hope that he continues in this manner.
Christensen joined Chelsea from Brondby in 2012, at the age of 16, and was promoted to the first team three years later.
