Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona ‘launch formal offer’ for Blues defender Andreas Christensen
Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is wanted by Barcelona and they have already made a bid for him, according to reports.The Camp Nou club want cover for Samuel Umtiti who is struggling with a knee injury and have identified the 22-year-old defender as the solution.2

Andreas Christensen has played one Premier League match this season

Last season, the Denmark international was a fixture in the Chelsea defence under Antonio Conte after returning from a two year loan with Borussia Monchengladbach.His performances earned him the Chelsea Young Player of the Year award, but he has been unable to replicate that success under Maurizio Sarri.While he has made nine appearances, only one of those has been in the Premier League and that was in the 2-1 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. It is clear Christensen is behind David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger in the pecking order, with Sarri preferring the experienced duo over the young Dane.According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona have ‘launched a formal offer’ for Christensen, who is aware of the contact, while the Catalan Giants are believed to have spoken to the players agent – who happens to be his father.Last month, Christensen stated he was not happy at being left on the sidelines.“If you asked every player that’s not playing if they’re happy, they’re going to say no,” he said. “Everyone wants to play.2

Christensen was a regular last season under Antonio Conte

“I can’t do anything else but go back there, train and do my best. Every time I get that opportunity, I have to do well and show him (Sarri) that he can count on me. “You don’t want to sit around and wait for it. You want to play straight away and that’s why we all play football.“Not playing is not fun. It’s a different situation to last season.”
