Several Premier League clubs are eyeing a Barcelona defender whose future appears uncertain, and there may be an exit for him this summer.
The 29-year-old centre-back has been searching for consistency this season due to recurring injuries, preventing him from finding form.
Although he has been able to showcase quality while healthy, he hasn’t had many opportunities under both Xavi and Hansi Flick, and with younger players coming through the ranks, offers from England, where he developed a substantial reputation, will undoubtedly circulate.
This defender is Andreas Christensen, Denmark international and a player who still has some prestige in the Premier League owing to his time at Chelsea, according to Fichajes.
His ball-playing skills, level-headedness, and experience would immediately lure teams in England looking to enhance the calibre of their defense.
Nevertheless, at Barcelona, he has effectively fallen behind Pau Cubarsi, and with Inigo Martinez providing consistent performances, Christensen has played minutes in key matches.
For Barcelona, moving on from Christensen could fit in with their continuing financial recovery and focus on youth.
If Christensen secured regular playing time and returned to the Premier League, sources close to the player say he would be open to that.
Given both his contract situation and Barcelona’s depth at center back, this summer could mark the end of Christensen’s time playing at the Camp Nou, with sides in the Premier League poised to capitalize on his availability.
As the transfer window comes nearer, it is likely Christensen’s situation will be a major talking point, with his next move protected by some of Barcelona’s managerial or business decisions, and then the offers presented further down the road.
