Chelsea have failed with a final attempt to convince Andreas Christensen to sign a new contract.



The Dane has just four months remaining on his existing contract, and he appears set to leave on a free transfer.

It has been reported that he has verbally agreed to join Barcelona, and it seems unlikely that he will change his mind.

According to 90min, the Blues recently made a last-ditch effort to convince Christensen, but it has been of no use.

The 25-year-old has verbally agreed terms over a four-year deal, and he can sign a pre-contract with the Blaugrana.

A formal announcement could be made in the near future with the La Liga giants keen to avoid fresh interest from other teams.

Bayern Munich were recently linked with him, but it appears unlikely that they will hijack the Blaugrana's move for the Dane.

Aside from Christensen, captain Cesar Azpilicueta could also swap the Blues for Barcelona when his contract expires in June.
