AC Milan is clear about it, Andreas Christensen is one of its top targets to strengthen the defense. Milan, determined to compete strongly again in Italy and Europe, has set its sights on Barça's Danish center-back. His experience, technical quality, and maturity in the back line make him a desired piece.
It's no coincidence, the Dane has barely had any prominence this season. Injuries have prevented him from shining and his spot has been taken by young players like Pau Cubarsí. Iñigo Martínez has also moved up in the rotation, and all this has left Christensen in a delicate situation.
Laporta makes a move
Joan Laporta, Barça's president, has been able to read the context. He knows he needs to free up salary space, and he knows Christensen is one of the most attractive names in the squad to sell. With a contract until 2026, his transfer could bring an interesting sum to the blaugrana coffers.
This is where the masterstroke comes into play; it's not just about letting go of a player. It's about doing it at the right moment, with the right offer, and without weakening the team.
Hansi Flick, Barça's new coach, has already made it clear that his priority in defense doesn't involve Christensen. So the club is preparing to let him leave if the right offer comes in.
Milan on the prowl
From San Siro, they are following everything closely. Milan needs experience at the back and Christensen fits that profile perfectly. In addition, Barça's contractual situation, under economic pressure, could make a favorable deal easier for the Italians.
No one expects an easy negotiation, but it should be swift. Barça is in a hurry to bring in cash and Milan wants to secure its key reinforcements as soon as possible. Everything suggests that talks will move quickly if the player gives the green light.
The player?
For now, Christensen keeps calm; he hasn't asked to leave, but he isn't closing the door either. He knows his role at Barça has been reduced and that Milan offers him immediate prominence. The scenario is tempting; at 28 years old, he could take on a leading role at a European giant.
The coming weeks will be decisive. If Milan formalizes its interest with a concrete offer, Laporta won't hesitate. Another surgical move by the culé president, who keeps fine-tuning his strategy to clean up the club without losing competitiveness.
