Chelsea urged to AVOID re-signing star perfect for Barcelona

Barcelona has made the surprising decision to put starting defender Andreas Christensen on the transfer list, fueling speculation that Chelsea may want him back at Stamford Bridge.

Christensen left Chelsea as a free agent in the summer of 2022 to join Barcelona, where he has played 52 games for the club. However, Barcelona's financial difficulties have prompted them to consider selling Christensen, who has frequently played alongside Ronald Araujo in their defense.

Report by goal indicate that Barcelona may be willing to make a deal in the summer, as they believe they have too many central defenders, with Xavi favoring Araujo and Jules Kounde as his top choices.

On the other hand, there are conflicting reports suggesting Araujo could be leaving, given Barcelona's financial constraints. According to data analytics experts SciSports, Christensen is best suited for Barcelona, as reflected in their Club Fit score, which rates Barcelona as the most suitable team for his development.

In contrast, Chelsea does not rank favorably in this regard, and fans are not enthusiastic about Christensen returning to their ranks. Many Chelsea fans are still bitter about Christensen's departure, and the club's surplus of center-backs along with the likely exit of Thiago Silva means there may be limited space for Christensen at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, any potential deal remains speculative.
