25-year-old Chelsea Defender to Complete Shocking Move to Barcelona “This Week”

• Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is set to seal his exit from the club after months of uncertainty about his future

• The Danish star CB looks set to wrap up a deal to FC Barcelona on a free transfer, after turning down contract offers from Premier League clubs

• Christensen is expected to sign a 5-year contract this week, and a verbal agreement has been reached with the player

25-year-old Danish defender Andreas Christensen is set to seal a move away from Premier League giants, Chelsea to Xavi’s Barcelona FC. After months of uncertainty about his future, the Chelsea defender is expected to wrap up a deal in the next few days.

Since last year, there have been rumors that the CB was set to exit last season’s Champion’s League winners but speculations have ramped up in the past week.

According to reliable football journalist, Fabrizio Romano, the transfer could be wrapped up as early as “this week”, which will see the defender join Barcelona by summer.

Romano reports that Barcelona already has a verbal agreement with the player, but the club is in a haste to complete a deal after the collapsed transfer of Wijnaldum last year.

The news comes as a big blow to Chelsea FC, just as the owner of the club Roman Abramovich announced that he had put the club up for sale last week. After almost 18 years as the owner of the club, the Russian Oligarch revealed that he is selling the cub due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
