Newcastle ready to battle Manchester United for €30m Barcelona defender

The latest Newcastle transfer news - Newcastle want to sign Andreas Christensen from Barcelona for €30m. Manchester United also want the defender.

Newcastle United are looking to sign Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen. The Denmark international is also attracting interest from Manchester United. Christensen has experience in the Premier League, having played for Chelsea before joining Barcelona on a free transfer.

Barcelona may consider selling Christensen, as his contract is nearing its end. Reports suggest the club could accept offers around €30 million. According to CaughOffside, Newcastle have already contacted Barcelona regarding a possible deal.

Christensen performed well during his time at Chelsea. He became a reliable defender and earned praise for his composure and positioning. His move to Barcelona was seen as a smart signing at the time. However, with his contract expiring soon, Barcelona might decide to sell him instead of risking losing him for free.
