Newcastle United has been presented as an 'escape route' for several FC Barcelona players during the current transfer market. The Catalans' need to make money to balance their accounts and be able to register players without problems would like to be taken advantage of at Saint James' Park, where they have set their sights on some members of the Barça squad to reinforce a team that aims to continue rubbing shoulders. ' with the greats after their return to the Champions League last season.
For that reason, the 'magpies' would be interested in acquiring the signing of Andreas Christensen.The 27-year-old Dane, with experience in the Premier after his time at Chelsea, continues to have a presence in England and the 'Magpies' would be interested in the defender to shore up the center of the defence, as reported in 'Caught Offside' . The defender was already in the sights of the British during the previous winter market, but the refusal of Xavi and the player himself prevented his departure.
It seems difficult that the defender's response is going to change this summer, since Hansi Flick considers him important in his project as he is a versatile player who can fulfill several roles, but at Can Barça they have decided to cover their backs. Thus, the Catalans would have set a minimum price to contemplate his transfer, with the bar set at 40 million euros. A figure that, for the moment, would be far from the offers contemplated by the British.
It is not Newcastle's first culé objective
If the Magpies finally end up sending a proposal lower than that stipulated from Barcelona, the 'Geordie' team would receive a new 'door slam' in the face of the Blaugranas. During this same summer, those led by Eddie Howe would have been interested in the services of Ferran Torres and Raphinha, sending a specific offer for Foios valued at 35 million euros. However, it was rejected by the culés as it was far below their demands, a situation that could be repeated in Christensen's operation.
