Liverpool prepared to offer €50 million for ex-Chelsea defender who Jurgen Klopp wants at Anfield: Report
PL club side Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen from Spanish gaints Barcelona this summer, as per El Nacional.
The Danish international has emerged as transfer target for Reds manager Jurgen Klopp who is reportedly pushing for the player.
Christensen, 27, was one of the stand out performers for Barcelona last season following his transfer to Camp Nou. The defender was among a couple of top players who were signed by the Blaugrana last summer.
He joined Barca on a free transfer from the Premier League club Chelsea, following the expiration of his contact at the club. Christensen immediately went on to silence his critics at Camp Nou, as he became an integral part of Xavi Hernandez's first-team.
The Dane formed a formidable centre-back partnership with Ronald Araujo at the heart of Barcelona, while making 32 appearances. Christensen also helped his side record 13 cleansheets in the league, enroute to Barca winning the La Liga title.
Meanwhile, his performance is believed to have caught the eyes of a couple of teams, with one of them being Liverpool. The Reds are reportedly keen on bringing the 27-year-old defender to Anfield this summer.
As per El Nacional, Klopp's men have already had a bid in the region of €30 million rejected by Barca for Christensen. They further claim Liverpool are now preparing another offer in the region of €50 million for the Danish international.
It will be interesting to see if Barcelona would be tempted in letting go off Christensen after just one season at Camp Nou. A possible sale could positively affect the club's financial status. It would bring in huge profit for the Catalan club, judging by the fact that he joined on a free transfer.
