Danish centre-back Andreas Christensen does not fit into FC Barcelona’s plans for next season.
AC Milan have identified Andreas Christensen as a priority opportunity to strengthen their defence in the coming season. In a situation where FC Barcelona has to lighten up on the squad, the Danish centre-back is emerging as an attractive option for the red-and-black team, which is looking for experience and reliability in defence.

Barcelona, under pressure to reduce their number of centre-backs, see the former Chelsea player as the main candidate to leave the club, especially after a season in which injuries limited his playing time. He only managed to play six official matches, a marked contrast to the rise of players such as Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez. Hansi Flick has already shown in his planning that he has other priorities for central defence, which puts the Nordic player on the starting path.

, who are aiming to take a competitive step in Europe and challenge in Serie A with more consistency, value Christensen for his international experience, leadership skills in the defensive line and good passing game. The fact that his contract expires in 2026, combined with the Catalan club’s financial situation, could make a deal manageable for the Italians.
Although the player does not seem in a hurry to leave, the lack of playing time and the growing interest from Italy may make him reconsider his future. On the other hand, Barcelona see his departure as an opportunity to reduce salary expenses without weakening the sporting structure. The next few weeks will be crucial to see if the Dane ends up packing his bags for Milan.
