Joan Laporta has closed a new sale at FC Barcelona, and this time the protagonist is Andreas Christensen. The Dane, who is not in Hansi Flick's plans, is almost out of Camp Nou. According to the information revealed by El Nacional, Barça has reached an agreement with a Saudi Arabian team to transfer the footballer for a figure close to 20 million.
Christensen, who has a contract with Barça until 2026, arrived as a free agent from Chelsea... and has been one of the players with the best performance during his first stage as a culer. However, in recent months he has lost prominence and, with the arrival of Flick, his role has been further relegated. The German coach bets on Koundé, Eric, Araujo, Íñigo Martínez and, above all, Cubarsí.
From the culer board, they see the operation as a great economic opportunity. Andreas Christensen didn't cost a transfer fee and a move for 20 million would mean a clean injection into the coffers, something essential to alleviate financial fair play and face new signings.
The Arab team, whose name has not yet been disclosed, has sent the proposal directly to Laporta, who has given the green light. According to El Nacional, the operation is closed between clubs and now only remains for Christensen to accept the challenge of going to Saudi Arabia. If he does, Barça will give the green light to the transfer immediately, obtaining 20 million euros very important for planning the next season.
Andreas Christensen, a Future in Doubt
Although the Danish defender has expressed his desire to continue in Barcelona, the reality is that his future at Barcelona is uncertain. The sports management, led by Deco, considers that his departure could alleviate the wage bill and facilitate the arrival of new reinforcements.
In short, the transfer of Andreas Christensen from FC Barcelona seems increasingly likely, with Saudi Arabia as a possible destination. The final decision will depend on the player's willingness to change scenery. He is not untouchable, by any means, for Hansi Flick and, if the right proposal comes, like this one for 20 million, there would be no hesitation in giving him an exit.
