Barcelona has to go on players to be able to register Joan Garcia and Nico Williams before the start of the following season, and a candidate who is eligible for a departure has now attracted a lot of interest.
Last weekend, Barcelona sports director Deco revealed that he is planning to be sold one central defender this summer. And with Ronald Araujo, who has been associated with a move, is out of the battle in this respect, it seems that Andreas Christensen is the man to continue.
Christensen seems to be destined to leave this summer, whereby Barcelona does not intend to offer him the opportunity to extend his stay after 2026, that is when his contract ends. And in the midst of reports that he prefers a move to Italy, Corriere Dello Sport (via MD) has noticed that Milan would like to sign him.
Milan wants to sign an experienced central defender this summer and Christensen is one of the candidates considering Rossoneri by officials. However, a deal can be difficult for financial reasons, which has been reported in recent weeks that Barcelona wants € 20-25 million to give the green light for the exit of Christensen.
Christensen came to Barcelona from Chelsea three years ago on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract to the Premier League side. As such would represent his sales pure profit. But even more important, an exit this summer would release a considerable amount of wages, and this is crucial to register Garcia and Williams at La Liga.
It is still to be seen whether Christensen is leaving Barcelona this summer, but the signs point to this reality. And if it happens, Milan would be a leading candidate, given the circumstances.
