Way back in August, we heard that Andrea Christensen was close to signing a new contract at Chelsea, and it was just a matter of time before it was done.
Yet here we are in late November, and no deal has been signed. In TalkChelsea’s exclusive interview with Fabrizio Romano today they asked him why, and his answer was very interesting.
You can see Romano speaking in the clip embedded here:
He explained that just when Christensen was ready to go, Barcelona basically came calling with tempting offers and promises.
It sounds like AC will still end up signing at Chelsea – but he might just have raised his wage by playing the two clubs off against each other.
