Andreas Christensen 'could follow Ilkay Gundogan out of Barcelona'

Former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen could leave Barcelona before the summer transfer window ends, according to reports.

The Catalan giants are already on the verge of losing Ilkay Gundogan, with the midfielder set for a sensational return to Manchester City.

Now, Christensen could follow him out the exit door as the centre back is open to leaving Barcelona this month, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Christensen was only on the bench for Barcelona's opening LaLiga match at Valencia last weekend, and is unlikely to have a prominent role under Hansi Flick if he stays at the club.

With this in mind, he could be tempted by a move away, and Newcastle are understood to be showing interest in signing the Danish defender.

Christensen joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Chelsea in 2022, just one year after winning the Champions League with the Blues.

He has made 75 appearances in his two seasons at Barcelona, and has won LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup during this period.

The 28-year-old still has two years remaining on his contract, but could seek a transfer due to no longer being guaranteed regular playing time with Flick at the helm. 

The transfer window closes on August 30 in England and Spain, giving Christensen just over a week to make a final decision on his future.
