These 2 Chelsea Defenders Are Barcelona's Hunt, Who Are They?
JAKARTA - Barcelona doesn't seem so satisfied with the changes in the team after bringing in a number of new players in the January transfer market. Now the focus is on the defensive line.
Previously, Xavi Hernandez's club brought in more forwards in the mid-season market. Starting from Adama Traore, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyuang, and Ferran Torres.
The result is a tremendous impact. Aubameyang is the new goal machine for Barcelona. Meanwhile, Torres and Traore provide a great deal on the front lines of the Catalan club.
After the problems on the front lines have begun to be resolved, now Barcelona is trying to fix the defense. Reportedly, the transfer market in the summer will be more focused on the back sector.
There are two defenders who will be brought to the Camp Nou. The two players come from the same club, Chelsea.
The first name is Andreas Christensen. This player is starting to rarely get a place in Thomas Tuchel's squad.
Reporting from an Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have spoken with the player's agent. In fact, a proposal has been submitted with a more tempting offer.
For Christensen, the Blaugrana have to compete with Bayern Munich.
