Manchester United Transfer News: Manchester United will try to make a €70 million summer transfer for Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen

Manchester United Transfer News: Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Andreas Christensen, according to a report from the Spanish media site Fichajes. The Red Devils are prepared to invest €70 million in the next summer transfer window to get the services of the Barcelona defender.

Since joining Barcelona last summer, Andreas Christensen has become an integral part of the team’s success. After his contract with Chelsea expired, the Danish international made a Bosman transfer to join Spotify Camp Nou. Despite his early struggles, he has settled in as a regular for Barcelona in recent weeks.

In 27 games this season, the 27-year-old has appeared for Barcelona, where he has contributed one goal and one assist. Christensen’s future at Barcelona, though, remains unclear as the club continues to struggle financially. Manchester United is interested in this kind of situation.

In the next summer transfer window, Manchester United might look for a new center-back. Even though they just signed a central defender in the summer, the Red Devils are still keen to add one for a variety of reasons. To begin, when Phil Jones’s contract expires, he will most likely depart as a free agent.

Even more so, the futures of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof seem cloudy at Old Trafford. Especially the former, who is expected to quit Manchester United during the next summer transfer window. Recent rumors have connected Maguire to a number of teams, with Manchester United reportedly ready to engage in a confrontation with the team captain.

Meanwhile, since his transfer from Real Madrid, Raphael Varane has struggled with his fitness. Since the Frenchman lacks the stamina to play a full season, Manchester United should acquire a new central defender. Christensen is now an accessible adversary. United are willing to pay €70 million (around $90 million) to get the Barcelona defender to Old Trafford this summer.

It’s not obvious whether Barcelona would be willing to let Christensen go after just one year of signing him. While Barcelona would love to keep Lionel Messi, they need to be careful with their finances. That leaves an opening for Manchester United to swoop in and sign the 27-year-old for €70 million.
