Chelsea on Friday confirmed that defender Andreas Christensen will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June. The Denmark international is expected to move to Barcelona after 10 years at Stamford Bridge. He had not played for the Blues since he withdrew from the squad on the morning of the FA Cup final against Liverpool, which Chelsea lost on penalties.
Former Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater is also leaving the Premier League club, while Antonio Rudiger’s free transfer to Real Madrid has already been announced.
Christensen, 26, scored twice in 161 Blues appearances and won a number of trophies, including the Champions League and Europa League.
“Chelsea Football Club would like to thank Andreas for contributing to our success over the past decade and wish him the best in his future career,” said a statement on the Blues website.

Former England international Drinkwater, 32, arrived in London from Leicester in 2017 but managed to make just 23 outings during an unsuccessful spell in which he was loaned out several times.
