Last summer was one of the most prominent in the modern era of Barcelona in terms of transfers, as the Catalan club signed 7 players at once: Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Jules Conde (Seville), Christensen (Chelsea), Marcos Alonso (Chelsea), Rafinha (Leeds United), Frank Casey (Milan) and Bellerin (Arsenal).
Despite the disappointing exit from the Champions League from the group stage, the deals are bearing fruit, as the Bolgrana crowned the Spanish Super Cup and occupies the top of the league, eight points behind its closest rivals, Real Madrid, in addition to being in the semi-finals of the King’s Cup of Spain and the round of 16 of the European League Championship. .
And the Catalan newspaper Sport says that Christensen is the best deal concluded by Barcelona among the seven deals that the club made last summer, as it turned from a substitute player to an undisputed mainstay in the Xavi defense line due to working in silence and the strong performance it provided in recent matches.
However, according to the prestigious British “The Athletic” portal, sources from within FC Barcelona consider that it will be “very difficult to resist” in the event that a good offer arrives in the summer for Christensen and we will take a decision to sell him because it will help balance the financial fair play accounts.
Of course, in the event that this happens, it will be a decision against Xavi’s desire to get rid of one of his best players in the formation and in the center of defense in particular, as the team needs additional reinforcements in this line, especially in the right-back position.
