According to The Hard Tackle via Calciomercato, Juventus has entered the competition to recruit Andreas Christensen. The Chelsea defender's current contract is coming to an end, but he has yet to sign a new one. The Blues want to keep him at Stamford Bridge for another season, but negotiations for a new contract have stalled thus far.
Since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, Christensen has blossomed. The Blues' backline, which has been one of the best in Europe this season, is led by the Danish defender. The 25-year-old has shown his worth to the west London club, who are eager to extend their partnership with him.
The Chelsea defender's situation has piqued the interest of clubs throughout Europe, with Juventus joining the hunt for Christensen. After a poor season so far, the Bianconeri are planning major changes for next summer. Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are both nearing the end of their respective careers. The Serie A club may have to make plans for the two men's succession, and they have their sights set on The Blues star.
To make matters worse, Matthijs de Ligt's future is still up in the air. As a result, it's understandable that Juventus is interested in Christensen. The Bianconeri hope to sign the Danish international for free when his current deal with Chelsea expires next summer. He's been linked with a move away from Inter recently, and it wouldn't be surprising if he wanted to go. This is where Malang Sarr's value might be even greater, and if he can prove his worth while on loan, he could be Skriniar's long-term replacement at the club.
During the weekend encounter between Manchester United and Chelsea, Malang Sarr was in Milan seeking to reach an agreement with Inter Milan. Romelu Lukaku's previous experience with Inter could have influenced his decision.
Sarr could sign a deal with Inter soon, but he won't be able to play until the winter transfer window opens on January 1st.
