Barcelona will listen to offers for the senior defender, Al-Ittihad among the interested clubs
Barcelona have three departures in the pipeline: Ilkay Gundogan (free transfer to Manchester City), Vitor Roque (loan to Real Betis) and Mikayil Faye. That should be enough to secure the signing of Dani Olmo, but club officials are still determined to finalize more exits before the summer transfer window closes next week.
The discussion of a departure for Andreas Christensen has progressed in recent days, and second ReliefBarcelona will entertain offers for the 28-year-old defender. Hansi Flick doesn't seem to be counting on him, as he didn't start last weekend's La Liga opener against Valencia.

Christensen has been open to leaving Barcelona before next week's deadline, although circumstances should be favorable. Al-Ittihad are very keen, although it is yet to be determined whether the lure of football in Saudi Arabia is enough for the Danish international star.
If Christensen did not entertain the interest shown by Al-Ittihad, a return to the Premier League would be his most likely destination. However, it is increasingly likely that he will leave Barcelona before the end of next week.
