FC Barcelona has received an interesting transfer offer from AC Milan for one of its first team stars according to SPORT and Jijantes collaborator Quim Casademunt, who cited anonymous sources when reporting the news on X.

Casademunt tweeted that the Italian giant has tabled a $9.2 million (€8 million) bid for the Dane, who Barca wants to sell.

This claim is in part supported by a Mundo Deportivo report earlier on Monday which explained that head coach Hansi Flick and his staff have narrowed down a list of four center backs they wish to keep.

Three certs to make the cut of central defenders are Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia, the latter of whom can adopt a number of positions on the back line and even as a defensive midfielder.

Jules Kounde is not included in this discussion because of him playing most of last season and Xavi Hernandez’s tenure as a right back thanks to a lack of options in that area of the pitch save for inexperienced La Masia graduate Hector Fort.

Selecting the fourth man is basically choosing who to cut between Christensen and Ronald Araujo, but Flick and his staff have reportedly opted for the Uruguayan.

While Araujo is available for $74.6 million (€65 million) for the first 10 days of July as his release clause drops from past $1 billion, Christensen’s potential sale is still interesting to the Catalans.

That’s because the Dane arrived on a free transfer from Chelsea in 2022, meaning that any sum received for offloading the Champions League winner presents pure profit for President Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco as they try to plan next season’s squad while staying on the right side of Financial Fair Play (FFP) limits.

If Christensen’s possible transfer to AC Milan can be completed before the end of the financial year on June 30, then all the better.

Furthermore, getting his $10.3 million (€9 million) salary off the books would do wonders at a time when Barca is trying to register new signing Joan Garcia and land Nico Williams after reportedly agreeing terms with the Athletic Club winger.

Were he to leave, Christensen would exit Camp Nou respected by FC Barcelona fans. Whenever called upon and not injured, he has proven a reliable defender and pivot that has two La Liga winners medals to show for his efforts.
