Chelsea is said to be interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, according to the Spanish outlet Signings.
After graduating from the famous La Masia Academy of Blaugrana, the 22-year-old made his first team debut in 2022. However, he struggled to secure his place in the start XI of former manager Xavi Hernandez.
After the arrival of Hansi Flick as the new manager, Casado regularly received playing time in the middle of Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal’s injury at the start of last season.
However, the Dutchman has settled as an undisputed starter and has formed an excellent midfield partnership in addition to Pedri. As a result, Casado has recently found the periphery.
Although he started three league games this season, he was replaced in two of those competitions. Now, Signings Suppose Barcelona is open to cashing in the Spaniard to raise money in the midst of their financial difficulties.
Chelsea has a long -term interest in the midfielder while trying to buy him this summer, but the player did not want to leave. However, if he continues to struggle for playing time, he may have to reconsider his current attitude to play regularly and develop his career.

Chelsea likes to continue signing it and is ready to spend up to £ 35 million to close the deal. They want to add a midfielder who is technically healthy and can play progressive passes.
Casado was an excellent last term, but after he did not play regularly lately, he lost his sharpness. That is why he has to play to regain his top form.
However, since Barcelona already have De Jong and Pedri with Marc Bernal Fit again after recovering a serious knee injury, Casado is probably the right football in the first team.
That is why leaving the Catalan giants may be the right move for him. However, he can be a similar challenge at Chelsea if he would move to Stamford Bridge next year, because they already have Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo and Andrey Santos as midfield options.
Lavia has continued to struggle with fitness problems, while Essugo has lately suffered an injury. So maybe Enzo Maresca wants to buy a new midfielder.
