Andreas Christensen is increasingly near of the FC Barcelona. After you report them that they indicate that so much Mateu Alemany like Jordi Cruyff displaced to London this Wednesday to close the operation, the journalist Fabrizio Romano has informed that in the last hours the club has increased his offer to the player. The central ficharía by five seasons and would arrive to form a powerful pair with Ronald Araújo.

The defensive problems that has presented the Barça along the season have carried to the directive of the club to take the defensive zone like priority to the hour to look for reinforcements. The club has 'moved' in the market of the free agents and the central of Chelsea is the elected by Xavi to form part of his rows. The Danish already wanted to come to the Barça in quality of yielded does two seasons, but the entity londinense blocked the operation.

Christensen is one of the key pieces of the defence of Tuchel and is very of the taste of Xavi, that thinks that in would fit perfectly in his diagram. In the first place, his handle of the ball is quite good, what gives him the possibility to take some decisions in complex situations.

In third place, would complement to perfection with Araújo. They are two different head offices, both strong, but while one is 'pure power', the another is 'cold' and 'calculador'.

A central with head 'fry'

If something characterises to Christensen is his tranquility to the hour to play. Rare time 'loses the head' and always is with 'the mind in the game'. Conte Already warned it in the 2017: "it is not easy to find this composure and calm in a so young player. I do not forget it: it has played big parties with a big tranquility and concentration. We have to be happy, think that Chelsea has found that it can have a career resembled the one of the big head offices of the history of this club", expressed the then technician of Chelsea.

It is precisely this concentration the one who allows him have a good positioning, what awards him tools to be able to adapt to the defence in front of a lot of types of attackers. It knows to go out well to the coverages when some his mate is out of position and goes very well to the cut. Besides, his youth gives him a wide margin of improvement, by which is evident the why Xavi wishes his signing. Christensen can be a central of period.
