Barca's promising young player Marc Casado is the name that Chelsea is very interested. The Premier League giant is watching this midfielder with a potential offer and they have also been “green light” by the Catalunya team.
Although Casado extended the contract with Barca until June 2028, according to Sport, the Camp Nou team is said to be ready to negotiate about allowing adult players from La Masia to leave. Although the BLD team appreciates Casado's future capabilities and potential, the competition for the positions in the midfield and the financial needs must sell people to cover the young player, which has made this young player on the liquidated list.
The current value of Casado is about 30 million euros, and if any offer is approximately 50 million euros, Barca will seriously sit at the negotiating table. This is a transfer fee not too large if it considers the potential and capabilities of the player born in 2003.
Barca knew about Chelsea's interest in Casado, and many other teams would probably jump into the player's signature race in the coming days. The Premier League team will continue to invest heavily in the transfer market, and the records of young Spanish players are suitable for Chelsea. However, they are not alone, when Atletico Madrid is also considered to have asked about the ability to recruit 21 -year -old players.
However, even if there is an appropriate offer, the midfielder's personal preferences may be an obstacle. Casado has a deep relationship with Barca, has experienced La Masia Academy and constantly expresses his passion for playing at the club. The intention to break up with his Catalunya giant is still unclear, and any potential transfer case needs his approval.
Casado started last season very impressive, often played and received many compliments for his performance. However, after Frenkie de Jong returned after injury in February, Casado was pushed out of the starting lineup. In addition to the importance of De Jong in midfield, coach Hansi Flick is also aiming to enhance the position of other talents of another La Masia furnace, Marc Bernal. The training team still believes in the possibility of becoming a world -class defensive midfielder of Bernal, and Flick seems to commit to giving him more opportunities in the future after he regained his physical strength after a serious knee injury.
In the context of Barca's squad is filled with talent, reserve players like Casado are increasingly difficult to play regularly. With Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez fight for the main stone position, the level of competition in the squad is very fierce. Therefore, Casado should probably seriously consider leaving, because this will be the right step for his own development.
