Manchester United asks Joan Laporta if Barcelona is willing to negotiate the sale

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have decided to tempt a Barça player, to find out if Joan Laporta is willing to allow him to leave in this winter market. Because there is a piece that is not having the minutes he would like this season, and that has surprisingly stopped entering Xavi Hernández's rotations, finding himself relegated to a clearly secondary role, compared to the one he had last season.

This is Andreas Christensen, who was one of the defensive pillars, and had outstanding performances, earning a starting place in the lineups. It was one of the positive news of the course, since the expectations that he had generated when he landed were not particularly high, but he became one of the most regular and reliable stars of the squad. Therefore, it was expected that this year he would be able to continue gaining importance in the locker room.

But nothing could be further from the truth, since he has been forced to accept a testimonial role, only playing in the inconsequential matches. Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé and Íñigo Martínez are ahead of him in the coach's preferences, and the disappointment of the former Chelsea or Borussia Mönchengladbach player is more than understandable. And at the Camp Nou they can carefully consider the idea of transferring him.

They have the opportunity to do business and obtain a considerable amount of money with a footballer who is expendable for Xavi, and who landed completely free of charge a year and a half ago. And in the Premier League there are several teams willing to welcome him and make a significant investment, as both the Spurs and the Red Devils have been interested in Christensen to improve their respective defenses with immediate effect.

30 million euros, the highest offer for Christensen

The highest offer for Christensen is the one presented by Erik Ten Hag, which is valued at 30 million euros. At Old Trafford they hope that this money will be enough for Laporta and Deco to give the OK, and therefore authorize the Danish international to start talks about his new contract.
