It is one of the objectives that Barcelona set for itself in preparing the new squad. the team needs urgently strengthen the center of defense since there are three footballers who have many options to leave next summer: Umtiti, Lenglet and Mingueza. In this way, the team will be left with three central defenders, but we must not forget that Piqu, already 35 years old, is playing his last seasons with the Barça team.
contract ends
Christensen is a footballer that Can Bara likes. He is young, turns 26 next April, He has a good ball output, he goes well on court and in aerial play. And a fundamental factor is that his contract ends on June 30. Barcelona is very careful in its transfer expenses as it continues to have liquidity problems to bring in players. And the great expense will be for Erling Haaland which is the great signing that Laporta intends.
close deal
The operation is currently very well on track. The player sees with very good eyes arriving at Barcelona. This has been transmitted to the Barça club in the conversations that have been held in recent months. The footballer was offered to Real Madrid before the Christmas break, but the white club rejected incorporating him. And it is now when Barcelona is pressing.
According to various sources, Mateu Alemany would have moved to London to speed up the signing of the footballer. Barcelona’s Director of Football already did the same a few weeks ago, traveling to Manchester to seal the transfer of Ferran Torres.
four defenses
With the incorporation of Christensen, if the agreement ends up closing, Barcelona will have four central defenders for the next campaign: Piqu, Araujo, Eric Garcia and the Dane. Who you have to watch out for is Araujo. Barcelona is trying to renew the defender but there are two teams that are very interested in signing him, such as Chelsea and Manchester United. Araujo’s contract ends in 2023.
