According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, after confirming İlkay Gündogan’s return to Manchester City, Barcelona is considering selling central defender Andreas Christensen in order to cut wage costs before the summer transfer window closes.
Currently, Barcelona is still unable to register new signing Dani Olmo in La Liga, despite his transfer from RB Leipzig. To improve their financial situation and successfully register the player, Barcelona desperately needs to raise more funds.
Once Christensen is successfully sold, Barcelona will not only be able to earn a certain transfer fee, but will also be able to reduce their wage burden, thereby enabling Olmo to be registered. According to data, Christensen’s weekly wage at Camp Nou is €173,000, which is a significant expense.
It is understood that Christensen has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, particularly Newcastle United. Earlier, Mundo Deportivo reported that Barcelona hopes to sell the former Chelsea star for around €30 million.
Barcelona hopes to complete the transfer of Christensen before the summer transfer window ends. They have less than a week to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Barcelona is also preparing to send away players like Ansu Fati, Roque Mesa and Mikael Faye.
Christensen joined Barcelona on a free transfer in July 2022. The 28-year-old Danish international has made 75 appearances for the club, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists.
