Chelsea star Christensen ‘to have second Barcelona medical TODAY after secret check-up last week’ ahead of free transfer
ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN is undergoing the second phase of his Barcelona medical today, reports claim.
The defender is set to pen a five-year deal with the LaLiga giants after turning down a new contract at Chelsea.
Christensen, 25, is claimed to have passed the first phase of his medical last week.
And according to Spanish paper Sport, he will undergo part two this afternoon.
They add that his agent will arrive in Barcelona between now and Thursday to formally complete the agreement.
Christensen’s talks with Chelsea broke down earlier this season, opening the door for Barca to swoop.
Bayern Munich had also been courting the Dane’s signature, but Xavi and Co have won the race after upping their offer last week.
Premier League teams were also interested, although Christensen reportedly snubbed them out of respect for Chelsea.
