Barcelona to Sell Ansu Fati and Christensen to Fund Olmo Transfer: Premier League Giants in the Mix

La Liga giants Barcelona are set to make significant roster changes to register their new signing, Dani Olmo, and balance their wage budget. The Catalan club is reportedly preparing to offload at least two players before the transfer window closes, with Ansu Fati and one of their center-backs at the top of the list.

Barcelona faces financial constraints that necessitate player sales to accommodate new signings. The club urgently needs a left winger and a right-back, but to make room for these additions, they must first offload some of their current players.

According to Sport, Ansu Fati, who is no longer in the club’s plans, and one of the center-backs—either Andreas Christensen or Eric García—are considered expendable. The focus is particularly on Christensen, who is seen as a valuable asset in the transfer market. Barcelona is open to selling the Danish defender for around €25 million.

Premier League clubs Manchester United and Tottenham have shown interest in signing Christensen. The Danish defender’s agent, who also represents Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gündoğan, has extensive knowledge of the Premier League market and has already received offers from several English clubs. Christensen was previously linked with a move to Newcastle United, but the club’s financial fair play restrictions limited their ability to make a serious offer.

Barcelona’s final decision on which players to sell will depend on the offers they receive and the potential financial savings or income from the sales. The involvement of Premier League giants in the potential deals adds significant intrigue to the situation as Barcelona looks to finalize their squad ahead of the transfer deadline.
