Juventus and Manchester United interested in the Barcelona defender for the January transfer market – report
Barcelona are not expected to do any business in the January transfer window, but despite their thin squad, it seems that departures are more likely than additions. Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre have all been tipped as potential exits, but now Andreas Christensen has also been brought up.
Christensen has been out of action since the first game of the season with an Achilles tendon problem, but is set to return to action in January after five months out. According to the Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, as reported by MDManchester United and Juventus are interested in a loan deal for Christensen in January, the latter especially so. The Bianconeri are without long-term defenders Bremer and Juan Cabal, and are looking to strengthen their defensive ranks.

The Blaugrana would still have Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo at their disposal for the second half of the season if they let Christensen go. Incidentally, it was reported that they wanted to sell him in the summer, but the Danish defender was adamant that he is not going anywhere. Since Hansi Flick can use one of Garcia or Christensen in the center of the field in the second half of the season, which may make Barcelona reluctant to leave him in January.
