DONE DEAL: Chelsea central defender edges closer to joining Barcelona on a free transfer

Without much doubts, Chelsea football club will most definitely be aiming towards winning one or more trophies under the management of Thomas Tuchel before the 2021/2022 season is over.

The West London were quite active during the summer as they made some signings to improve their squad and challenge for the Premier League trophy this season.

However, that is quite working out well for Chelsea so far, as the Blues are currently occupying the second position on the Premier League table.

But now, Chelsea could be rocked with reports that experienced central defender Andreas Christensen is in line to leave the club later this year.

The 25-year-old Denmark International, who signed up for Chelsea way back in 2015 has been an important member of the first-team squad over the previous seasons.

The experienced centre-back was quite involved for Chelsea football club during the 2020/2021 season where he made 27 appearances in all competitions.

Andreas Christensen has also started the ongoing season on a good note, scoring one goal and creating one assist in the 19 matches he has played for Chelsea so far.

But then, Andreas Christensen has less than six months left on his current contract with Chelsea and due to his refusal to sign a new contract, he could be planning to leave the club.

And according to reports from Daily Mail, Andreas Christensen wants to leave Chelsea when his current contract expires and he is eyeing a transfer move to Spain to play for Barcelona.

 

The reports further claimed that Andreas Christensen is now edging closer to Barcelona having already signed with an agency that is linked to Lionel Messi’s older brother.

If signed, Andreas Christensen will now join up with a squad that already possess the likes of Gerard Pique, Clemente Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti and Eric Garcia in that Barcelona defence line.
