Tottenham and Manchester United are ‘on the lookout’ for same player – PL duo need €25m for surprise deal

Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen has emerged as a surprise target for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, according to Sport.

Hansi Flick currently has several centre-backs at the Camp Nou and his side are working to get rid of at least one of them. The La Liga side have identified the 28-year-old and Eric García as two candidates.

Barca are looking to make two more signings but will have to offload players to balance their wage bill.

Sport say one of Christensen and García will leave before the window closes and the final choice will depend on the offers, they’ll receive.

The Denmark international’s agent also represents Barca’s İlkay Gündoğan, who is about to return to Manchester City. The representative knows the Premier League market well and has received some surveys from several clubs.

It’s not made clear whether both Tottenham and Manchester United have contacted Christensen’s agent.

However, Sport say the Premier League duo ‘on the lookout’ for the Dane. Spurs and the Red Devils could consider signing the former Chelsea man if he opens the exit door. Barca would need at least €25m to sanction a deal.

For now, the two English club are just keeping an eye on the player. It feels like they are dragged into the mix to put pressure on another serious contender.
