4 Barcelona defenders are considered ‘untouchable’, so another could be forced out | OneFootball

An insight into the defensive pecking order in La Liga champions Barcelona’s squad at present has on Thursday been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and points towards one member of the Blaugrana’s central defensive ranks as being the odd man out when it comes to next season.

In the eyes of Hansi Flick and co, the following quartet are considered ‘untouchable’:

Iñigo Martínez, Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí and, somewhat surprisingly, Eric García.

With Jules Koundé also more than capable of slotting into a central role, as much leaves Andreas Christensen in something of a precarious situation.

The Dane has just one year left on his contract at the Camp Nou, with his intention, as of now, to see as much out before departing as a free agent.

Barcelona, though, are keen to free up space on the club’s bloated wage bill, with Christensen therefore considered ‘an absolute candidate to leave’.
