Premier League clubs eye Barcelona defender as exit looms | OneFootball

Andreas Christensen’s time at Barcelona could soon be coming to an end, with several Premier League clubs reportedly expressing strong interest in bringing the Danish centre-back back to England, according to Fichajes.

It must be noted that the 29-year-old defender has struggled to maintain a consistent presence in the squad this season due to a string of injuries.

While he has indeed shown flashes of quality when fit, the repeated physical setbacks have disrupted his rhythm and reduced his influence under both Xavi and Hansi Flick.

Furthermore, the emergence of Pau Cubarsi, combined with Inigo Martinez’s consistent displays, has meant fewer opportunities for the Dane in key matches.

As a result, Barcelona are said to be open to parting ways with the defender if a good offer comes in this summer.

Christensen remains highly regarded in England, where he built a solid reputation during his years at Chelsea.

Several Premier League sides are understood to be monitoring his situation closely, drawn to his experience, ball-playing ability, and composure under pressure—traits that remain valuable in the fast-paced environment of English football.

From Barcelona’s perspective, a potential transfer could make sense on multiple levels. Offloading Christensen would help reduce the club’s wage bill and bring in funds at a time when financial restructuring remains a priority.

With younger talents emerging in defence, Barça’s sporting department could view this summer as the right time to refresh its backline and focus on building for the future.

Furthermore, it is also said that those close to the player reportedly acknowledge that Christensen would not be opposed to a return to the Premier League, especially if he is offered regular playing time and a key role.
