Andreas Christensen has penned a parting message to Chelsea, after the Blues announced the Denmark international would leave at the end of his contract earlier in the month. The Denmark international is widely expected to join Barcelona, with Christensen having acknowledged that he has known is next step 'for a while', albeit it is not entirely in his own hands.
The Catalan club's financial difficulties appear to see Christensen and fellow free transfer Franck Kessie unable to be registered for the La Liga side. Nevertheless, there have been no shortage of additional players linked with moves to the Nou Camp, including the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and Raphinha.
The 26-year-old believes the time was right to depart Stamford Bridge, after a decade spent with the club and conceded it had not been an easy decision due to his love for the club. Christensen reflected on on his proudest moments at Chelsea and named academy chiefs Jim Fraser and Neil Bath as having a major impact when he initially joined the club.
