Liverpool They are reportedly “willing to go to any lengths” to sign. Barcelona star Andreas Christensen in the next transfer window, according to the Spanish media Transfers.
It has been widely suggested that the Merseyside club want to strengthen their backline by signing a new defender this summer. Antonio Silva, Gonçalo Inacio and Leny Yoro have all been mentioned as serious targets for the Reds, but Christensen now emerges as a key option.
According to the report of TransfersLiverpool are “willing to go to great lengths” to sign Christensen and are willing to spend a fee of around £43m to lure him to Anfield.
The report further states that Barcelona are currently in a “delicate financial situation” and could therefore sell some of their stars to raise funds in order to strengthen other areas of the squad.
So, Transfers claims Liverpool could sign defender if they table £43m bid and if they can land first Chelsea signature of the star then it will be 'one of the biggest bombs' of the first divisionThe transfer market.
Christensen to Liverpool
After moving to the Catalan giants as a free agent during the summer of 2022, the defender enjoyed a promising campaign in La Liga last season, helping his team win the league title.
The defender already demonstrated his qualities in the Premier League during his time at Stamford Bridge, guiding the Blues to the Champions League, European League, FA CupUEFA Super Cup and glory in the Club World Cup.
He is a talented and versatile player, as he has center back traits, but can also be deployed in the midfield position. He is fast, good in the air, comfortable playing from the back and also efficient in defensive contributions.
So the 27-year-old could be a shrewd signing for Liverpool if they buy him. However, the Dane has struggled for form of late and the Merseyside club would not want to sign an injury-prone player.
Therefore, Liverpool would be better off exploring other options to strengthen their defensive line. However, it will be interesting to see if the Anfield club ultimately opts to take a concrete approach to signing Christensen in the upcoming transfer window.
