Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr have reportedly shortlisted Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen as a top transfer target for next summer. com), Al-Nassr are confident that the former Chelsea defender would join the club if they offer him a lucrative deal. Andreas Christensen, who joined La Blaugrana from Chelsea on a free transfer in July 2022, has entered the final year of his contract with the Catalan club. While he aims to sign an extension with the LaLiga giants, Barcelona are unlikely to offer him a new contract. Thanks for the submission! Last season, he made only six appearances for the club during their domestic treble-winning campaign, missing the majority of the action due to injury. In the 2025-26 campaign, the Danish defender has made 10 appearances across all competitions, starting only three games. Hansi Flick has preferred the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia over the former Chelsea defender. Moreover, Barcelona are expected to make reinforcements in defence during next summer’s transfer window, following the offloading of Christensen, who will turn 30 next year. The Dane’s injury issues have also grown significantly as compared to his initial two seasons in Catalonia, where he has made a total of 90 appearances. He has also missed four matches this season due to a calf injury and health concerns. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr are confident about reuniting the Danish defender with his former Barcelona teammate, Inigo Martinez. The Spanish defender joined the Knights of Najd from the LaLiga giants on a free transfer earlier this year. When Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that he was close to joining Barcelona Earlier this year, during an interview with El Chiringuito, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that he was close to joining Barcelona before he signed a deal with Manchester United.” Ronaldo joined Sporting’s academy in 1997, making his senior debut in 2002.

He added: “I was with someone from the club, and they wanted to sign me, but it didn’t happen. They wanted to sign me that year and join them the following year. But Manchester United wanted me for that year.” Cristiano Ronaldo went on to become one of Manchester United’s greatest ever players before leaving the club for Real Madrid in 2009. The Portuguese forward won the UEFA Champions League, three Premier League titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup with the Old Trafford outfit.
