Chelsea star Andreas Christensen wanted by Bayern Munich and Barcelona on free transfers with contract offer on table

ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN is wanted by European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich with both 'strongly interested', according to reports.

The Chelsea defender is out of contract in the summer and looks increasingly likely to leave, despite the Blues' best efforts.

And Fabrizio Romano says the Denmark international will soon make his decision as Europe's heavyweights prepare to swoop for a free transfer.

He said: "Barcelona and FC Bayern are both strongly interested in signing him – club sources confirm"

Christensen would be a huge loss to Chelsea, who are facing a defensive exodus with Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta also winding down their deals.

The 24-year-old featured in last season's Champions League final win over Man City.

He has played a key role for Thomas Tuchel's side this season, with 21 appearances and a goal in the FA Cup demolition of Chesterfield.

Chelsea want Christensen to stay but he has previously said that he has 'no idea' if he'll still be in London next season.
