A club from the 'big six' of the Premier League wanted to leave FC Barcelona without Marc Casadó

It is no secret that Marc Casadó has become one of the pleasant surprises for FC Barcelona this season. The 21-year-old central midfielder, in this 2024-25 season, has made a notable breakthrough in the Blaugrana's first team, to the point that in just over six months, he has already established himself as one of the best midfielders in Spanish football and one of the top young midfielders in the international sports scene.

Given this, it is common for Marc Casadó to be tempted by several teams looking to strengthen their sports project with a midfielder who increasingly fits the 'box to box' player profile, intense defensively and in recovery, and who does not fall short offensively as a playmaker and creator of connections. Recently, it was revealed that one of the major clubs in England tried to sign him in this winter transfer window, but without any success.

Chelsea Shows Interest in Signing Marc Casadó

As reported on 'Què t'hi jugues!' on SER Catalunya, Chelsea showed interest in signing Marc Casadó in the recently concluded winter transfer market. However, similar to what happened in the last summer transfer window, this approach from the London-based club has been fruitless, as they faced rejection from the Sant Pere de Vilamajor native. Despite not being as undisputed due to the prominence that Frenkie de Jong is regaining in the Barça sports project, he remains committed to the Barcelona entity, where he is one of the key figures and aims to succeed as one of the sensation academy graduates in this 2024-25 season.

In this case, it is important to remember that Marc Casadó, who has accumulated 2178 minutes of play in a total of 30 matches, has a release clause of 100 million euros, which was obtained in his recent renewal signed last July, linking him to FC Barcelona until June 30, 2028. It is possible that this amount may undergo necessary modifications if the '17' continues on the same trajectory.
