Liverpool and Barcelona are both facing an unusual summer as they search for new managers. Xavi Hernandez, a former Barcelona midfielder, has recently taken on the role but has yet to make a significant impact. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp will leave behind an impressive legacy at Liverpool, particularly due to their memorable comeback against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-finals. Recent reports from the Spanish media suggest that their paths may cross again in the near future.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool is prepared to offer up to €50m for Andreas Christensen, a Danish international currently playing for Barcelona. Christensen, who previously played for Chelsea, is currently being utilized in a midfield role by Xavi, similar to Sergio Busquets’ position. It remains unclear whether the player is comfortable in this role or not, but Barcelona has no choice but to make do with the situation. However, Christensen’s absence in the defense has been sorely felt, as Barcelona has recently conceded multiple goals in their matches. This includes a surprising defeat at home against Granada, a team struggling to avoid relegation.
Barcelona’s defensive struggles have been evident in their recent matches. They conceded five goals at home against Villarreal and four goals against Athletic Club, Real Madrid, and Girona across various competitions. As a result, it is clear that the club needs to generate funds to address their defensive issues.
