Borussia Dortmund have reportedly dropped out of the race to sign Chelsea's Andreas Christensen.

'Die Schwarzgelben' have been linked with the 25-year-old defender, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

But Christensen is too expensive for Dortmund, according to Bild reporter Christian Falk, who claims his salary demands are too high for the Bundesliga outfit.

Most recently, Italian transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano said that Bayern München and Barcelona are front-runners to sign the Danish international.
