Manchester United and Tottenham may both make a play for Andreas Christensen, who is rumoured to be leaving Barcelona.

Fichajes claims that Premier League teams, including Tottenham and Manchester United, are still interested in Andreas Christensen. After becoming a vital member of Barcelona’s team, the player might not want to leave, but the club’s financial predicament might require a sale.

Would Andreas Christensen be sold by Barcelona?

Only a few players are seen to be untouchable at Barcelona at this point in their development; the others will probably be available if they receive enormous offers. The Catalans’ financial situation is not ideal, therefore they might have to sell some important players.

One of those can be Andreas Christensen, depsite the Danish international establishing himself as a key player under Xavi Hernandez. The fact that he joined the club on the free places more emphasis on the 27-year-old Barcelona defender, considering the total profit the club will make from his sale.

Much like in the summer when they sold Franck Kessie to Saudi side Al-Ahli, they might do the same with Christensen, even in January. Barcelona have already considered a summer sale of the Danish international. Still, things could change if they receive a big offer in January amid interest from Premier League sides, including Newcastle United.

Christensen has no intention of leaving Barcelona in January, but things may be outside his control when it comes to deciding his future. Hence, there’s a chance for some of the interested clubs in pursuit of the 27-year-old Barcelona defender, with Tottenham and Manchester United also considered suitors.

Tottenham to battle Manchester United for Christensen

The Premier League duo are already chasing the same defender in Jean-Clair Todibo and could revisit their battle in pursuit of Christensen. The 27-year-old Barcelona defender has plenty of experience in the Premier League after playing more than 90 games with Chelsea.

While the report names Tottenham as a key suitor, there are chances Spurs might not pursue the 27-year-old Barcelona defender with intent. They are already closing in on Radu Dragusin, with a new offer imminent for the Romanian defender.

In Manchester United’s case, it’s a bit different, as the Red Devils are in the market for a new centre-back. They are interested in Christensen, but any deal will depend on the amount of money they are willing to spend on the Danish international, as Barcelona will demand a premium fee in exchange for the centre-back.
