But coach Tuchel reckons the only way is down after playing for the European Cup winners and Christensen is on the verge of greatness at Stamford Bridge.
The German boss said: “I don’t see an upgrade in any other club. But you can fulfil any dream here and we should not be too humble in that.
“The situation with Andreas has been clear for many weeks.
“We are not happy about it because we think it is best for him to stay.
“Until his contract ends, he is a Chelsea player. He knows we appreciate him.”
Christensen, 25, is believed to have agreed a mega-deal to link up with boss Xavi at debt-ridden Barca.
Tuchel added: “It is a crucial point in his career.
“A crucial point, in the perfect age and perfect moment regarding the situation, the position he plays, the guys who play at his side.
“Considering all these circumstances, it is the decisive moment for him to step up and be a huge Chelsea player for the next years.
“If he decides otherwise I will not take it personally, it is not important if I understand it or not.
“I will treat him as my player until the very last day if he behaves like we want to behave.”
