Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen is reportedly wanted by Premier League side Brentford.
The 28-year-old has endured an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign so far, meaning that he has played a limited role for Hansi Flick's troops.
Christensen has featured in just a single La Liga contest for Barca, who are battling rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid for the Spanish crown this term.
The Danish defender is expected back in the middle of February from a foot issue, although there is a possibility that he has already played his final match for the Spanish giants.
According to The Independent, a Premier League contender is weighing up a shock move for the former Chelsea centre-back before the close of the window.
The report claims that Brentford are considering a swoop for the 28-year-old, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Stamford Bridge during the summer of 2022.
With their difficult financial situation in mind, Barca are supposedly willing to listen to offers for Christensen before the February 3 deadline.
However, it is understood that the 73-time international is keen to remain at the top level of European football and fight for his spot within Flick's first-team plans.
