The Denmark international has been with Brentford since 2019, but his current agreement is due to expire at the end of the 2026-27 season. Despite previous discussions between the player and club, there has been no breakthrough over an extension.
Jensen confirmed the situation when asked by Bold about his future, making clear that he remains open to staying in west London but that the two parties have not reached an agreement.
“There has previously been dialogue, but it hasn't led to an extension yet.
“I'm certainly not opposed to extending, but so far we haven't agreed on things. So it's pretty open right now,” he said.
The 30-year-old will be able to speak to clubs outside England from 1 January if no new agreement is reached, giving him the opportunity to explore his options ahead of the summer transfer window.
Jensen acknowledged that possibility but insisted it was not currently dominating his thoughts. His immediate focus remains on Brentford's matches rather than the prospect of moving elsewhere.
“Yes, I can, and it's obviously something I think about. But I don't focus on it that much right now.
“Even though I can talk to other clubs from 1 January, as a footballer you mostly think about the next game. So a month and a half is a long way into the future.
“There's nothing concrete right now, and therefore there's not much to consider,” he explained.
The midfielder was also asked about previous interest from other clubs, including Panathinaikos, during the summer. However, he said there had been no serious developments.
“No, not really. There was nothing that became really concrete, so there wasn't much to consider,” Jensen said.
His contract situation has previously attracted attention because Brentford have exercised options to extend his stay rather than allowing his agreement to expire.
The club initially announced in January 2023 that Jensen had signed a new contract running until the end of the 2025-26 season, with an option to extend it by a further year. Brentford subsequently exercised that option in June 2026, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2026-27 campaign.
That distinction is important because Jensen directly rejected suggestions that another one-year option remains available. Asked about reports, including information published by Transfermarkt, indicating a possible extension until 2028, he clarified that the existing option had already been activated.
“No, they've already exercised it. That was the one that was activated most recently. There's no option for another year,” he said.
Jensen has made 282 appearances for Brentford, including 166 in the Premier League, since joining from Celta Vigo in 2019. He has also earned 32 caps for Denmark.
His importance to the club over the past eight years makes the uncertainty surrounding his next contract a significant issue for Brentford. For now, Jensen has not ruled out staying, but the lack of agreement leaves his future open as the January transfer window approaches.
