Barcelona are just 'awaiting the final signing' from Andreas Christensen to seal his free transfer from Chelsea, as the out-of-contract defender gives his 'verbal OK' to complete the move

Barcelona are 'awaiting the final signing' to seal a deal for Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen on a free transfer in summer after negotiating a deal 'for months', according to reports in Spain.

Christensen's contract at Stamford Bridge expires in summer and it is looking increasingly likely that the defender will leave Chelsea after a decade at the club.

Little progress has been made over negotiations between the player and the west London club, while a host of clubs, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich, were reported to be interested.
