Christensen's elegant Chelsea gesture as Barça move nears

Andreas Christensen is just one step away from committing to Barcelona definitively. Barça have spent months working on the signing of the Chelsea defender, who would arrive for free after deciding not to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge, which expires on June 30.

If his signing for Barça is confirmed, his elegance and respect towards his current club will have played an important role in the Catalan club's favour.

According to the journalist Fabrizio Romano, Christensen has had various offers from Premier League sides for next season. Keeping in mind the financial muscle of English teams, it's likely they would have been able to offer much more than Barça financially.

However, the Danish international wanted to respect Chelsea and show his gratitude for 10 years at the club by not moving to a rival side in the same competition. He decided if he was to leave, it would be for abroad, with Barça and Bayern Munich his two options -- and the Blaugrana winning the battle.

The cited journalist assures that Christensen has given the green light to the move and a key meeting could take place next week. Remember that he has already passed a medical.
