Andreas Christensen to Barcelona is increasingly seen as a done deal by the Spanish media, with the Chelsea defender thought to have completed two parts of a medical to join the Catalan club.
Wednesday’s edition of Sport has an article which presents information described as ‘confidential’. They say the deal is ‘closed’ and will be announced ‘shortly’, with the official confirmation perhaps coming as quickly as this week.
The Denmark international will sign a contract for five seasons, indeed it’s stated it’s ‘already signed’, and now Barcelona’s attention turns to other signings.
Earlier today, we covered Mundo Deportivo’s take on the chances of Barcelona signing César Azpilicueta, and they said Chelsea aren’t happy with how their players are being targeted.
Sport present similar, explaining Thomas Tuchel’s side are ‘upset’ with the run of events, and the chance of losing three defenders as free agents at the end of the season.
That makes things more difficult for Barcelona, as Chelsea could use their option to extend Azpilicueta’s contract.
