Atlético de Madrid Seduces Marc Casadó with a Star Role

Marc Casadó continues to capture the desire of Atlético de Madrid to acquire his services during the summer market. However, FC Barcelona will not make things easy for a team that in recent years has directly taken Luis Suárez, David Villa, or Memphis Depay.

That said, the 'colchonero' team has already begun to move quickly and has established direct contact with the pivot and his entourage. The 'rojiblanco' club has expressed its firm interest in incorporating the midfielder, and has conveyed the idea that he should force his departure from the Catalan team, with the aim of speeding up a possible negotiation.

Although the player would like to spend his entire career at Barça, he is also aware that the competition in midfield will be fierce next season, so he would not be guaranteed a large number of minutes.

In contrast, Diego Pablo Simeone would guarantee him time on the field, in addition to considering him an ideal profile for his tactical system. But Barça, in order to at least negotiate, expects offers of at least 50 million euros.

Atlético de Madrid, an interesting option for Casadó

In this argumentative order, what attracts the player most is the idea of having guaranteed minutes. However, he is not very interested, for now, in forcing a possible departure from the club of his life.

But one of Casadó's goals is to get into Luis de la Fuente's squad for the 2026 World Cup to be held in North America. This is something that could also be used by Atlético to convince him.

The 'colchonero' team wants to close another incorporation after Rodrigo de Paul left for Inter Miami, and the '17' of the azulgrana team is the player that most attracts the management of Atlético de Madrid.

Casadó, a valid player for Flick

Although Casadó finished last season losing his starting position to Frenkie de Jong, who is one of the players that Hansi Flick likes the most, the native of Sant Pere de Vilamajor is a player that the coach also believes can fight for a place in midfield.

It should be remembered that for next season the German coach will have, in addition to the Dutchman and the '17', also Gavi, Pedri, Fermín López, and Marc Bernal.

The season will be long and the team is expected to maintain the level shown last season, so rotations will be a constant scenario, in which Casadó can show his best version and start knocking on the door of the starting lineup.
