Christensen close to joining Xavi’s Barcelona
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Andreas Christensen, a Chelsea midfielder, is on the verge of joining Barcelona this season.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Barcelona has reportedly increased their interest in Christensen ahead of his contract ending during the summer transfer window, according to Mundo Deportivo.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As Barcelona looks to upgrade their team, Christensen and AC Milan&#8217;s Franck Kessie are at the top of their want list.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Danish international joined Chelsea from Brondby in 2012, and a move would bring an end to his 10-year stint at the club.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The 25-year-old has now made over 150 appearances for Chelsea, assisting them in winning various titles, including the Champions League last season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Last week, Christensen said of his Chelsea contract status, &#8220;Things can still be done.&#8221; As a football player, all I want to do is be a part of a winning squad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;I try to keep it away because I want to focus, and it hasn&#8217;t altered for me because of all the talks between the club and my guys.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;Every day, I go out on the pitch without really thinking about it.&#8221; I&#8217;ll leave that to the club and my guys, so I can concentrate on football.&#8221;</span></p>
