In the summer transfer market, there are still teams that do not give up fighting for certain FC Barcelona players. Such is the case of AC Milan, which has spent part of the transfer window sounding out Andreas Christensen to add him to their defensive line.
Apparently, when the Italians' interest emerged a few weeks ago, the Dane showed no interest in joining them. However, this is not enough for the seven-time European champions, and they have an offensive prepared for the 29-year-old defender.
Thus, according to the latest information, the 'rossonero' team would be willing to pay a figure close to 30 million euros with the aim of securing the incorporation of the Lillerod native before the summer market closes.
Milan has the ambition to form a defensive line that will allow them to earn respect in Serie A, as well as allowing them to get into the next UEFA Champions League, since they did not qualify for the 2025/26 edition.
Barça opens the door to a possible departure for Andreas Christensen
In this context, the delicate economic situation that the Blaugrana team is going through continues to condition their sports planning. Therefore, despite Christensen's solid performance in his first two seasons (2022/23 and 2023/24, participating in 74 matches) since his arrival from Chelsea in 2022, the Danish center-back remains on the transfer list.
The Blaugrana board believes that a possible sale would not only help to balance the club's accounts but would also facilitate the registration of pending reinforcements with LaLiga, an urgent priority in the final stretch of the market. However, the player still has the last word.
Christensen maintains his desire to stay at Barça intact
The player, who has one year left on his contract (until 2026), has always been firm in his conviction to stay with the Catalan club. Christensen believes he has enough potential to become an important piece in Hansi Flick's tactical system.
Not only that, but both he and his family feel comfortable in Barcelona; that's why he hasn't responded to any of the approaches he's had from the beginning.It should be noted that, in addition to Milan, Al-Nassr also showed interest in adding him to their ranks, but the '15' has always expressed his desire not to leave.
Furthermore, his release clause remains at 500 million euros. If he rules out leaving this summer, the club will opt to renew his contract to avoid his departure at 'zero cost' next summer.
Christensen's situation is complex, as despite the departure of Iñigo Martínez, other players like Pau Cubarsí, Ronald Araujo, and Eric García are still ahead of him to cover the backline.
In the two matches so far in LaLiga 2025/26, he has only been on the field for 14 minutes against Levante; against Mallorca, he remained on the bench. While in the 2024/25 campaign, the ordeal he suffered with injuries only allowed him to participate in 6 matches (259'). Should Christensen stay at Barça or seek an opportunity at Milan?
