£6m Loan Fee Demanded For Chelsea Defender

West London giants Chelsea have reportedly demanded an outrageous loan fee of £6m for defender Andreas Christensen to leave the club on loan in this January transfer window.

The Daily Star revealed that the Blues have slapped a big loan transfer fee on the young Danish international centre back to ward off the interest of major European clubs.

Italian Serie A champions Juventus and German Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund are keen on taking the player on loan before the winter transfer window closes on Thursday.

Andreas Christensen has previously been linked with other clubs like Barcelona and Borussia Moenchengladbach.

The 22-year-old spent two years on loan at German Bundesliga club Borussia Moenchengladbach between 2015 and 2017 before he returned to Chelsea to be a regular at the club under ex-manager Antonio Conte.

Christensen has been relegated to the Chelsea bench since Maurizio Sarri replaced Conte as the Blues boss at the start of this campaign.

The Danish defender has made just one Premier League start since the start of this campaign and that was in the 2-1 loss suffered at the hands of newly promoted side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The majority of his appearances for Chelsea this season have been in the cup competitions especially the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.
