Barcelona is willing to part ways with defensive back Andreas Christensen this summer in order to bolster their financial stability
According to reports, Barcelona is willing to part ways with defensive back Andreas Christensen this summer in order to bolster their financial stability.
Christensen, who is now 27 years old, joined Xavi Hernandez’s team last summer after signing for nothing. Together with Ronald Araujo, he has been a rock at the back for the Catalans, who have only conceded once in his 27 games across all competitions.
The Barcelona defenseman is Danish, but El Nacional reports that the club may want to trade him this summer. Under Joan Laporta, the club is attempting to clean up its financial activities and make some sound choices. They’re also crossing their fingers that club icon Lionel Messi will return to the Spotify Camp Nou this summer.
The Blaugrana will need to cut their existing pay cost if they want to achieve their goal. The upcoming summer departure of Sergio Busquets should help in this respect. Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha are just a few of the players Barca would be willing to part with.
Barcelona is prepared to let Christensen go for €40 million, so he won’t be a distraction. According to the aforementioned El Nacional article, many teams from England’s Premier League are interested in acquiring the services of the Danish defender.

Inigo Martinez, a defender for Atletic Bilbao, is said to be joining the Catalans on a free transfer this summer. Christensen’s departure may thus give the club a much-needed cash boost without negatively impacting the team.
A forward for Barcelona, Ferran Torres has revealed his desire to play for Valencia again. The Spanish starlet was a product of Los Che’s youth programme before signing with Manchester City in 2020. As of January 2022, he was a resident at the Camp Nou.

Before joining Manchester City, Torres made 97 appearances for Valencia’s first team, tallying nine goals and dishing out twelve assists.
The Spanish forward has played 67 times for Barca in all competitions, contributing to 14 goals and eight assists. There have been rumours that he will leave the Catalan club this summer.
According to SPORT, Aston Villa and Barcelona have reached an advanced stage in discussions for the transfer of Torres. With his contract set to expire in 2027, the Blaugrana are demanding at least €45 million for the Spanish international.
The 23-year-old scored nine goals and sent out three assists in 28 Premier League appearances during his time with Manchester City. Torres might be a massive addition for Aston Villa, who have found new life under Unai Emery.
