The Danish international has been widely tipped to leave the Blues at the end of the season amid interest from a host of clubs. As per Football Insider, he has reached an agreement in principle with Barcelona.
However, Chelsea boss Tuchel has insisted that he expects ‘100% commitment’ from the centre-back. He revealed he ‘had conversations’ with the Dane ’last summer and through winter’.
Ahead of the Blues’ Champions League quarter-final first leg tie against Real Madrid on Wednesday, Tuchel shed light on Christensen’s situation.
As quoted by Football.London, he said:
Tuchel has also claimed that it was ’nothing personal’ from him to leave the Dane out on the bench in Chelsea’s match against Brentford at the weekend. The Blues lost 4-1 at Stamford Bridge in the Pemier League clash.
He added:
Chelsea could have a defensive crisis to solve in the summer
At the moment, Chelsea are going through uncertain times with their owner Roman Abramovich sanctioned by the UK Government.
They are not permitted to do any kind of business and are now even allowed to offer new contracts to their players.
Christensen looks destined to leave the club at the end of the season along with his colleague Antonio Rudiger.
Even if the West London club finds a solution to resolve the situation following a takeover, replacing two pivotal defenders will be a huge ask.
Christensen has been an excellent servant for Chelsea over the years. He made his way through the academy ranks to go on and make 156 appearances for the Blues.
