Only on Saturday at Old Trafford did Manchester United officially introduce Rasmus Hojlund as their new acquisition. Now, they allegedly have a proposal for Andreas Christensen, a member of his own country
The club administration has been searching for a new center-back even though it is not a top priority. According to rumors in Spain, United is now intensifying its efforts to bolster their backline now that they have finalized a critical deal for a new striker to replace Erik ten Hag.
According to a Catalan source, Nacional and United are now again vying for Christensen’s signature. The report that suggests a’return’ claims that the Red Devils made a 40 million euro (£34 million) approach for the Dane in June.
Now that the Premier League powerhouses are reportedly upping their offer to 50 million euros (£43.2 million), Barca president Joan Laporta would be tempted to explore the former Chelsea player’s departure despite his superb performances under Xavi last season.
To secure Christensen, United would have had to alter the parameters of their whole package, it is noted. The present offer from the English side comprises a promise to make a set payment of 35 million euros (£30.27 million) plus 15 million euros (£12.97 million) in add-ons. The Catalan team demands a total upfront payment of 50 million euros (£43.2m).
Such a sum would aid the Blaugrana in their pursuit of Manchester City stars Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva, along with the sale of Franck Kessié to Al-Ahli Saudi FC
Christensen is a strong defender who is at ease with the ball and tough when he isn’t. Additionally, the right-footed center defender is a fantastic squad depth option because of his versatility in both defensive positions.
The Barcelona player has not yet made his intention to leave Camp Nou known, but the presence of Christian Eriksen and Henrik Hojlund, two of his international teammates, might help United make a compelling case for his transfer back to the Premier League.
Also mentioned in connection with the Mancunians is former Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo.
