Milan Studies Signing Barcelona Defender

Reports from the Spanish newspaper "Sport" indicate that the Italian club Milan is prioritizing the option of signing Danish defender Andreas Christensen to strengthen the team's defense before the summer transfer window closes on September 1.

Christensen, who is 29 years old, has a contract with Barcelona that expires in June 2026, but he has not participated regularly due to injuries that have affected his performance recently. It seems that the Catalan club is not in a hurry to agree to his departure, especially after the departure of Inigo Martinez to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Coach Hans Flick refuses to lose more defensive elements during a long and busy season, and considers Christensen an important part of Barcelona's lineup, as he recently participated in the final minutes of the team's match against Levante and contributed to achieving victory.

Despite the player's desire to remain with Barcelona, he has not ruled out a move to Serie A if Milan makes an official approach.

This comes at a time when Barcelona is keen to maintain the depth of their defensive lineup to face the challenges of the current season, while Milan is considering its last opportunity to strengthen its squad before the transfer window closes.
