Barcelona will reportedly part ways with 28-year-old Danish utility man Andreas Christensen if they receive a bid worth €60 million for him.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Andreas Christensen faces an uncertain future at FC Barcelona heading into the summer transfer window. The reigning La Liga champions are ready to part ways with the 28-year-old utility man if his suitors produce a bid of around €60 million to sign him.
Andreas Christensen and his Barcelona journey
Andreas Christensen has been a handy asset for Barcelona since arriving from Chelsea in a Bosman move in July 2022. Considering his non-existent transfer fee, the Danish international has been one of the best signings of the current Joan Laporta regime at the Catalan club.
The 28-year-old has been a utility player for Barcelona due to his ability to reprise different roles on the pitch. Christensen has excelled as a holding midfielder in the second half of the 2023/24 season, having been top-notch as a centre-back in the previous few months. Meanwhile, he has turned out 68 times thus far for Barcelona, chipping in with three goals and three assists.
However, Christensen faces an uncertain future at the Catalan club due to the never-ending financial problems plaguing them. With the former Chelsea defender not costing Barcelona anything, they can make considerable profit from his sale. Meanwhile, he has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature.
Premier League return on the cards?
Recent reports have linked Andreas Christensen with several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United. The Red Devils can do with a player of the Dane’s qualities, considering he can be a top-class solution in the backline and the midfield. Other updates have pointed to Liverpool being ready to fork out €50 million to secure his services.
So, a return to the Premier League might be on the cards if Christensen leaves Barcelona in the summer transfer window. And the 28-year-old utility man will not come cheap, with the Blaugrana slapping a price tag of €60 million on him.
While the demand of €60 million is sizeable, Christensen might be worth the outlay, considering he is at the peak of his powers and one of the best defenders in the world. So, it will be interesting to see if his suitors meet Barcelona’s valuation in the coming weeks.
