Three days ago, Sport stated Newcastle United are very interested in signing Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen. It was also stated the Catalan club have identified the centre-back as a candidate to help them raise funds.
There’s also been a claim in England stating that the Magpies will return for the 27-year-old in the summer if they fail to sign him in January.
Denmark’s Tipsbladet relay only Sport’s claim and then give their take on the possibility of the defender ending up at Newcastle.
They waste no time is dismissing these reports and even label the Catalan newspaper’s story ‘pure fabrication’.
It’s claimed the former Chelsea man isn’t going to Newcastle or another club because he’s happy at the Camp Nou. In addition to this, Xavi Hernández’s side are also pleased with his performances and have no plans to cut ties with him.
Tispbladet add the Denmark international won’t leave Barcelona either in January or after this season. The Spanish giants’ economic situation is well known, but there’s a Danish insistence they have no plans to sell Christensen.
There were also rumours that the player isn’t happy at Barca, which led to reports linking him to Newcastle and other clubs.
Tipsbladet have dismissed this and add he’s ‘extremely satisfied’ at the Camp Nou, where he enjoys the trust of both the coaching staff and their management.
This should put an end to the possibility of Newcastle or another club signing Christensen, at least in January.
