"Good riddance" was just one of the responses to a recent Fabrizio Romano tweet, in which a quote from Barcelona's president Laporta strongly hinted Andreas Christensen has agreed to a summer move, swapping the Fulham Road for the Camp Nou.
This news is by no means a shock, the slow ticking down of his contract since last summer has created a cloud of uncertainty over the squad, with Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta in a similar boat. Back in November, it felt like the Dane was the closest to signing an extension.
But then after a change of agent and an offers rejected, there was a clear switch in tone. That was most emphasised by Thomas Tuchel's own words back in December which effectively hurt the perception of an academy graduate.
