FC Barcelona will soon have to make decisions and these will largely fall on Joan Laporta's shoulders. One area where there will be changes for the next season is the defensive line, where significant arrivals and departures may occur. A figure who is very likely to leave is Andreas Christensen, who still hasn't debuted under Hansi Flick.
Fichajes.net has discovered that Newcastle has shown interest in signing Andreas Christensen. The sale of the Dane is seen favorably within the Catalonian club, with Hansi Flick's approval for his departure. It's a viable solution to obtain money and address other key transfers to complete the team for the next season.
Andreas Christensen joined FC Barcelona on a free transfer in 2022 and his contract ends in 2026. The plan is to try to renew him at an affordable price, but if that doesn't happen, his sale would be accepted. Not only does Newcastle want him, but the Dane has also attracted significant interest from other Premier League clubs. His departure would free up salary space and help secure funds for other transfers.
KO for Andreas Christensen: Laporta Finds His Replacement
The operation is "practically done" after a meeting held in Cologne. The journalist from Jijantes, Carlos Monfort, discovered that Deco headed to the German city last Thursday to meet personally with Pini Zahavi, Tah's representative. In this meeting, they discussed his possible arrival at Barça next season and "both parties were very pleased."
The price of Jonathan Tah makes him a real bargain: €0. His contract ends next season and he had attracted interest from several top European teams. Besides Barça and Real Madrid, Bayern also wanted him, although he ultimately decided on the Barça project. Hansi Flick's role has been crucial for this agreement, being his main supporter in Barcelona.
Jonathan Tah has been a essential pillar in Bayer Leverkusen's defense, standing out for his imposing physique and his ability to lead the backline. Throughout his career, he's proven remarkable consistency and a great ability to read the game, making him a very attractive option for Barça.
Tah's arrival would open wide the doors of Barça for an Andreas Christensen who has sparked a lot of interest in the market.
