would also be able to retain the services of Casado and Fermin if they can raise funds by offloading the Danish centre-back.<\/p>\n<p>However, Flick will be concerned about being left light in defence, having already seen Inigo Martinez leave for Al-Nassr earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>If Christensen were to join Milan, Flick would be left with <a
