Out-of-favour Barcelona star is ‘blocking’ his departure from the club

A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona is currently refusing

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Andreas Christensen as the player in question.

Stopper Christensen of course finds himself in something of a precarious situation in Catalunya’s capital at present.

Owing to a combination of the competition for places at centre-back in Hansi Flick’s squad, and the expiry of his Barcelona contract in 12 months’ time, the Camp Nou brass are understood to have opened the door to the sale of the former Chelsea man.

As alluded to above, however, despite the efforts of Deco and co. to find a new home for Christensen, the Dane has absolutely no intention of moving on.

As per a report from Sport:

‘The Danish centre-back has absolutely closed the door to an exit and Barça are already clear with just over a month to go before the transfer window closes that his departure is blocked.’

Christensen remains convinced that he can secure a return to prominence in the Blaugrana’s XI this coming season.
