FC Barcelona could be open to selling one of its best defenders at an affordable price. Who would it be and how much would it be sold for? We tell you at FCBN
If there is a name whose presence is often questioned in FC Barcelona, that is Andreas Christensen. The Danish player, despite being a good option both in defense and in the midfield, has been surrounded by rumors of a possible departure from the club every time a new transfer window approaches.
This could be partly because he plays in positions where Barcelona has high-quality assets, and also because Christensen has a high market value. Therefore, it would not be surprising if the club considers doing business with him if the opportunity arises.
In this sense, looking ahead to the next summer transfer market, it seems that the option of doing business with Andreas could gain strength, as he appears to have less space in the sporting plans of Hansi Flick with each passing day. Throughout the 2024-25 season, the player from Allerød has spent most of his time dealing with tendinopathy in his left Achilles tendon, a setback that required surgery and has delayed his return to the field. His comeback is estimated to be in early 2025.
Reasons why Barcelona might sell Andreas Christensen
Now, returning from his injury, Christensen will face a rather complicated sports scenario, as the Catalan team has a solid central defensive pair in Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez, who have shown excellent performance and have perfectly assimilated the German coach's playing style, especially in terms of the defensive system and offside play.
Furthermore, beyond this central defensive duo, Christensen also competes with one of the world's best defenders, Ronald Araújo, who is close to returning to action to strengthen the defense, leaving even less space for the Danish defender, who also does not have many opportunities to reinforce the midfield, where Barcelona has almost all its assets available.
The price that Barcelona would set to let go of Christensen
Given these circumstances, it would not be surprising if Barcelona considers the option of selling one of its most dedicated assets. The big question is how much the club would demand for the transfer of Andreas Christensen, who is under contract with the institution until 2026, which could lead to negotiations next summer if the team decides not to renew his contract.
As reported by 'El Nacional.cat', apparently FC Barcelona would be willing to let Andreas Christensen go for around 30 million euros, a sum that aligns with his market value according to the website 'Transfermarkt', and could be tempting for some clubs that have shown interest in the situation of the Danish player. Now, it remains to be seen if any team will eventually venture to add the '15' to their ranks, as he continues to be highly valued in leagues like the Premier League.
