Barcelona awaiting €30m bid for veteran defender image

Barcelona are still struggling financially, which is an ongoing problem for the Catalan club. 

There have been departures this summer, though, with Inigo Martinez being the latest to exit. 

There have also been reports that Fermin Lopez could leave the club, should a significant offer come in, as Chelsea have registered their interest. 

Fichajes have reported that another offer could come for Barcelona, with AC Milan reportedly willing to offer €30m for veteran defender Andreas Christensen. 

Why selling Christensen could be good for Barcelona?

Barcelona might not want to sell another defender after Martinez's exit, but a deal could be in their best interests.

Given their financial state, a €30m fee would be a significant boost to their finances. 

The club had also reportedly been open to Christensen moving away, and a deal for Christensen would ease any pressure to sell Fermin. 

Fermin has been crucial to Barcelona's success, and Hansi Flick likely doesn't want to lose a key player. 

Christensen's sale would help Barcelona register their remaining players for the La Liga campaign.
