Barcelona pursuing Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen on a free transfer - report

Andreas Christensen, Chelsea’s Danish defender, is on the list of possible transfers for FC Barcelona, according to the latest reports. But, he will only join the Catalans if he refuses to renew his current contract with the blues.

That is because Barcelona are only considering him as a free transfer option. Club president Joan Laporta is looking to strengthen Xavi’s squad but is still unable to splash the cash as the club navigates a financial crisis.

Barcelona is said to have the player’s future “under control,” although nothing can be considered a done deal or close to it at this point.
