Barcelona in pole position to land Chelsea star on free transfer

Ronald Araujo appears to be a big part of Barca’s plans going forward, while Oscar Mingueza has served as more of a utility man, and Clement Lenglet no longer appears to be a starter.

With that in mind, Barca could go to the market to land a new defender, and according to a transfer expert, they could bag themselves a free agent.

Andreas Christensen is out of contract at Chelsea this summer, and Barca, as well as Bayern Munich, are said to be interested in landing him on a pre-contract agreement.

At the moment, a deal isn’t possible, with talks still ongoing between the Dane and Chelsea.

Chelsea have offered a new deal, while Christensen is not convinced, only featuring sparingly under Thomas Tuchel.

According to source, Christensen will only consider a move away from England, out of respect for Chelsea, and Barca and Bayern are leading the race.
