Arsenal are reportedly after Andreas Christensen to strengthen their defence. To secure his signing, the Gunners would have to pay the 30 million euros that Barça have reportedly asked for his transfer
After extending his contract with Arsenal until June 2027, Mikel Arteta is beginning to plan the future of the London team and would have his sights set on Barcelona. The Spanish coach would want to strengthen his defence in view of the interest of the continent's big clubs in William Saliba, so he would be on the trail of Andreas Christensen to shore up the centre of defence.
The Dane is very much to the liking of the former midfielder, who values his experience in the elite and in the Premier League, where he defended the colours of Chelsea, as well as his versatility, which allows him to act both in the axis of the rearguard and in the centre of the field. For this reason, and according to what was reported in 'El Nacional.cat', the capital club would have already initiated contacts with the '15' and his entourage to convince him to leave FC Barcelona to return to England.
Barça would not rule out the sale of Christensen
At Can Barça they would not dismiss this idea, since the footballer was on the 'ramp' of leaving at some point last summer, although he finally decided to stay at the Spotify Camp Nou. However, they would not look down on making money with a player who landed at the Barça entity as a free agent in the summer window of 2022, and they would be willing to transfer him to London...
as long as his operation closes around 30 million euros.
At the moment, Christensen, 28, is focused on recovering from his tendinopathy in the left Achilles, which will keep him on the dry dock, in principle, until the month of December. Hansi Flick held him in high regard due to his versatility on the pitch, but the injury he suffered has left him behind in the coach's plans, and even out of La Liga, where Barça opted not to register him in order to register Dani Olmo.
Christensen has a name in the Premier League and Serie A
In winter, the Catalan club will have to find a solution to register the international again with the Danish national team in the league championship, but if the interest of the 'gunners' is concrete, a sale would not be ruled out. Clubs such as Inter Milan or Newcastle would also follow in the footsteps of Andreas, whose future in Barcelona could once again be in doubt during the next markets.
