Newcastle United: Andreas Christensen offer made
Newcastle United have reportedly already made an offer to Chelsea for Andreas Christensen.
The Lowdown: Contract up
The 25-year-old’s contract at Stamford Bridge is up in the summer, with no sign of a renewal as of yet.
Given that he currently holds a market value of £31.5m according to Transfermarkt, it would present a real bargain for whoever is able to snap him up on a free transfer.
The Latest: Offer made for Christensen
As per FC Inter News, Newcastle have already offered a four-year deal to Christensen which is ‘economically improving’.
Should Newcastle sign Christensen?
Yes
No
However, the Denmark international does not favour a move to the northeast at this moment in time, and Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all ready and waiting to pounce.
The Verdict: No-brainer for Newcastle
If the Tyneside club can attract a player of Christensen’s quality for free, then it is surely a no-brainer.
A Champions League winner with the Blues, along with many other accolades, the 25-year-old would bring an elite winning mentality which will be needed for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium’s lofty ambitions, and his age means that he could be a mainstay in the team for years to come.
Described as ‘one of the best defenders in the world‘ by Brentford manager and fellow Dane Thomas Frank, he is equally comfortable playing in defensive midfield too, having done so a few times for his country, so his versatility would also be a huge bonus to Eddie Howe at Newcastle.
