Barcelona believe they are close to a deal for Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah, but this will have implications for their current squad.
Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi will return next season and the Blaugrana are set to extend Ronald Araujo's contract. With the arrival of Tah, the sporting director thinks that this will be sufficient in terms of central defenders.
They will try to sell Eric Garcia, says Sport, which was previously reported, but now it appears Andreas Christensen's future has also been decided. The Blaugrana believe it will be difficult for him to return to his best this season given the competition for places and his length of time, and have decided to sell him next summer. He will also not be offered a new contract.
Christensen has been linked with a move to Newcastle United, while in Serie A, Juventus and AC Milan have also been credited with interest. With just a year left on his contract next summer, the Denmark international is likely to be available at a reduced price.
