Andreas Christensen Linked with Saudi Move as Barcelona Eyes Rashford
With the transfer window closing soon, FC Barcelona is working to finalize a major departure to facilitate the arrival of Marcus Rashford. While Ansu Fati was initially seen as the likely exit, it now appears that Andreas Christensen could be the one to leave.
Saudi Interest in Christensen
Saudi Arabian clubs are making a late push to sign key European players, and Christensen has emerged as a target. According to journalist Gerard Romero (Jijantes), Saudi representatives have made an initial approach for the Danish defender, whose contract runs until 2026.
Barcelona is open to selling him, as he isn’t a key player under Hansi Flick. Despite recovering from long-term injuries, Christensen has barely featured this season, playing just 26 minutes before suffering another setback. With Ronald Araújo recently renewing his contract, Barça believes they have sufficient defensive depth to let him go.
A Financially Favorable Deal
Barcelona would consider offers between €20-25 million for Christensen. If Saudi Arabia matches this valuation, negotiations are expected to move quickly. The sale would help fund Rashford’s transfer, making it a strategic move for the club.
With limited time left in the transfer window, Christensen’s future remains uncertain, but a move to Saudi Arabia looks increasingly likely.
Christensen Faces Crucial Decision Amid Saudi Interest
Andreas Christensen has only a few hours to decide his future. A move to Saudi Arabia would bring a significant financial boost, but at the cost of a lower competitive level.
With his Barcelona contract running until 2026, the club is open to his departure, given the €20-25 million offer on the table. Now, the decision rests with Christensen—stay at Barça with limited playing time or secure a lucrative move to the Middle East.
