Neither Barça nor Arabia! Major Surprise with Andreas Christensen: ‘I’m Leaving for…’

The Dane has already decided on his destination if he doesn't stay at Barça, and the surprise has been total among Barça fans

Andreas Christensen's future remains one of the hottest topics in the Barça transfer market. The Dane has international appeal and several offers. However, Barça still hasn't made a final decision.

Christensen has played as a center-back and as a pivot during the season. His tactical intelligence makes him very useful for any system. However, injuries have been an obstacle to him having consistency.

Christensen: Highly valued by Hansi Flick despite his physical problems

Hansi Flick has acknowledged his admiration for the Dane on several occasions. He believes that, if he's healthy, he can make a difference. That's why he's asked the board to try to keep him.

Christensen has had Achilles tendon problems since January. That made him miss much of the season. Only in recent months has he regained competitive rhythm.

Barça needs to sell and Deco considers Christensen's departure this summer

Despite the coach's desire, the sporting management has a different view. Signing Nico Williams requires immediate income. Deco and Joan Laporta believe that Christensen's departure could be key.

In recent weeks, interesting offers have arrived for him. From Saudi Arabia, Al-Nassr offered about €18 million. There have also been inquiries from the Premier League, such as Newcastle.

Total surprise: Christensen has AC Milan as his priority if he leaves Barça

However, the destination that interests the Dane most isn't in England or Asia. The surprise has been total: Andreas Christensen prefers AC Milan. This has been leaked by his close circle to Catalan media.

The Rossoneri are looking for a profile like his. A center-back with good feet and experience in European competitions. In addition, there have already been informal contacts between the parties.

Christensen knows that he can still succeed in Barcelona. However, if he doesn't have the full support of the project, he's considering a change of scenery. The San Siro option is attractive to him.

AC Milan dreams of Christensen and prepares a proposal to convince Barça

AC Milan is preparing a proposal close to €15 million. They believe they can convince Barça if they improve certain variables. The transfer will depend on the outcome of the Nico Williams case.

Christensen won't make any decision until he speaks with Flick. He knows that his future depends on what happens in the coming weeks. However, if he has to leave, he wants to go to a club with history.

In the Barça locker room, there's resignation about his possible departure. Although he hasn't been consistent, he's delivered great performances. His exit would leave a significant gap both on and off the field.
