  • Christensen is yet to be registered as a Barcelona player, with the club’s finances still in shambles
  • The defender has now taken to social media to strongly hint at leaving the club without playing a competitive game
  • Both Christensen and Franck Kessie have a clause enabling them to leave Barca for free if they are not registered in time for the club’s first La Liga game

Andreas Christensen has sparked interesting rumors that he could make a stunning return to Chelsea with his social media activity.

The 26-year-old defender has changed back his profile picture on Instagram to one in a Chelsea shirt as he is yet to be registered as a Barcelona player.

Fears that the Dane might not play for the Catalan giants are now turning to a possibility, only weeks after joining Barca on a free transfer.

ESPN, quoted on Daily Star, reports that both Franck Kessie and Christensen have a clause that will enable them to leave the Nou Camp for free if they are not registered in time for Barca’s first La Liga match.

Barcelona play Rayo Vallecano in their first league game on Saturday, August 13.

This essentially means both Kessie and Christensen could leave the club without playing a competitive game for the club.

As far as Christensen’s social media activity is concerned, the defender also deleted his post announcing the move to Barcelona.

Here are suggestions from fans online after the latest development:

"Barcelona will probably find a way, but if they don’t and Christensen leaves, Chelsea could theoretically get him back, something to keep an eye on,"
"Imagine Christensen returning back to Chelsea after Saturday."
"We finally got rid of Christensen & he’s already being linked back with a move to Chelsea."

Xavi insists Barca must not sell Aubameyang

Meanwhile, Barcelona manager, Xavi does not want Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to be sold by the club this summer no matter the cost

The 33-year-old forward has been an integral member of the Barcelona team under Xavi after joining the La Liga giants six months ago.

Xavi would rather the Catalan club offload the likes of Martin Braithwaite, Memphis Depay, and Ez Abde and keep Aubameyang at Barcelona according to Barca Universal.
