Borussia Dortmund have withdrawn their interest in Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen due to his high wage demands, according to reports.

The 25-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, with his departure looking likely.

However, as per Christian Falk, Borussia Dortmund have withdrawn their interest in the defender due to his salary demands being ‘too high’.

Christensen dropped his father as his agent last month but he wants his son to get a 'renewal premium and also in a single payment’ if he is to stay at Chelsea. 

At the end of November 2021, Thomas Tuchel told Christensen to 'walk the talk' following the longed out contract discussions.

"We are waiting a long time now for confirmation. It’s on Andreas to act how he acts on the pitch off the pitch and walk the talk," Tuchel said.

"He tells us he loves Chelsea, that he wants to stay and be a big part, because he is a big part of a big club. I think he is the perfect fit, he is not done yet here, his career here is not finished."
