Continue Cleaning! According to Mundo Deportivo: After Gündogan, Christensen Will Be the Next Player to Leave

According to Spain’s Mundo Deportivo, after Gündogan’s return to Manchester City has been confirmed, Barcelona is considering selling central defender Christensen with the aim of reducing wage expenditure before the summer transfer window closes.

Currently, Barcelona still hasn’t registered new signing Olmo in La Liga, despite his transfer from RB Leipzig having taken place some time ago. In order to improve their financial situation and successfully register this player, Barcelona urgently needs to raise more funds.

If they can successfully sell Christensen, Barcelona will not only gain a certain amount of transfer fee income but also reduce their wage burden, thus achieving Olmo’s registration. According to data, Christensen’s weekly salary at the Camp Nou is as high as 173,000 euros, which is no small expense.

It is understood that Christensen has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, especially Newcastle United. Previously, Mundo Deportivo reported that Barcelona hopes to sell this former Chelsea star for approximately 30 million euros.

Barcelona hopes to complete Christensen’s transfer before the end of the summer transfer window; they have less than a week left to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Barcelona is also preparing to let go of players such as Ansu Fati, Roko, and Mikaël Fayol.

Christensen joined Barcelona as a free agent in July 2022. The 28-year-old Danish international has made 75 appearances for the club, contributing 4 goals and 3 assists.
