Barcelona closing in on Christensen

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has passed a “secret” Barcelona medical, it has been revealed.

The Dane is off contract at Chelsea this summer and has been in talks with Barca about a Bosman move.

Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito, has revealed Christensen is closing on a move to the Nou Camp.

He said: “They tell me that this Monday a Chelsea footballer who wants Barça has passed the medical examination in London, in secret.

“He is Danish, central and his name is Andreas Christensen.

“The (Cesar) Azpilicueta thing is more complicated because he has an optional season (with Chelsea). The departure of Christensen, that of (Toni) Rüdiger and that of Azpilicueta would leave Chelsea without a defence.”
