Chelsea defender all set to leave after german side’s club-record offer

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge after Borrusia Monchengladbach placed a £15.1million bid, claims German media.

The 20-year-old defender, who joined Chelsea from Brondby in 2014, enjoyed an impressive spell for the German side last season while on loan and the Bundesliga club are reportedly ready to make him their club-record signing and it could happen this summer.

According to a report from Bild, Gladbach’s initial offer may not be enough for the Blues to sell the Danish international, with the club holding out for £18.4m.

However, the report suggests Chelsea could be willing to do business with the Germans for a fee of £18.8m, including a buy-back clause.

Gladbach have already secured Christensen’s services on loan for the upcoming season but as he recently stated his desire for regular first-team football, a permanent move could be best for all parties.

Since veteran defenders Martin Stranzl and Tony Jantschke got injured and were out of form, Monchengladbach  manager Andre Schubert gave Christensen a chance in the first team. He has been undroppable since then, and he’s shown that the flashes that he showed at Chelsea were no fluke. Christensen has become a consistent performer for Gladbach.  

He is basically a centre back who has a wide set of skills, something very reminiscent of Mats Hummels. This is because of one of his main strengths, his passing ability. His ability to pass and deliver accurate long balls to his teammates is something that is rare in a defender.

He has an assist to show for his passing skills as well, and his passing as much as his defending has made him a key player for Andre Schubert. His passing ability far outweighs that of any other defender that Schubert has at his disposal.
