Only a few details remain to be settled. But according to several media, Andreas Christensen will engage with Barça. A final meeting is scheduled for this week to finalize his contract for five seasons. The Danish Chelsea defender will be the first Catalan signing for the 2022-2023 season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Christensen refused the offer of two Premier League clubs, out of respect for Chelsea, with whom he however could not reach an agreement to extend his contract. Bayern Munich were also very interested in his profile, but it is ultimately in La Liga that he will land. At the club, however, we would remain cautious as long as nothing is signed, after what happened with Wijnaldum last summer (he finally joined PSG when he had an agreement with Barcelona).
For the team led by Xavi, he would be a rookie of choice, in a sector that has been neglected in recent years. And again at a lower cost. In recent months, the Spanish club has notably hired Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia, Dani Alvès and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang without transfer compensation.
