Spanish giants Barcelona are keeping tabs on Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, according to reports.
The Denmark international centre-back has already emerged as a transfer target for AC Milan, but now the Catalans are also considering making a move to bolster their defensive options.
This is according to Spanish publication Sport, as reported in Football.London’s liveblog, where the report claims that Barça are considering Christensen if Samuel Umtiti is forced to have an operation.
The French World Cup winning defender is out with a knee issue, and the Barcelona staff are concerned over its severity.
While Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt would be Barcelona’s first option, the Dutch club will refuse to sell their starlet until at least the summer, so the Catalans may be forced to turn to Christensen if Umtiti is out for a long period of time.
