Surprise in the market! Casadó, new target of Manchester United

With the transfer market in full swing, the players of FC Barcelona are constantly receiving suitors. Thus, the latest to join the list of those interested in Marc Casadó is Manchester United, who want to strengthen the squad that finished the 2024/25 season in fifteenth position in the Premier League.

According to the latest information, the English club has not yet made any move for the midfielder trained at 'La Masia', but they have made their interest clear, as they believe that he could give a significant leap in quality to the squad led by Rúben Amorim.

In that sense, the 'red devils' see Casadó as a great alternative to Manuel Ugarte. The coach considers the '17' blaugrana as a more complete and versatile player than the Uruguayan, being not only a defensive pivot, but a midfielder who can contribute a lot in attack. Not in vain, he participated in 7 goals last season with Barça.

Marc Casadó, on the radar of several big clubs in Europe

The native of Sant Pere de Vilamajor is becoming a temptation for several big clubs in Europe. In fact, the interest of 'Man United' would add to that of Liverpool, Chelsea, Atlético de Madrid, Napoli or Bayer Leverkusen.

While several clubs would aspire to have Marc Casadó in their ranks, there was one that has already given up wanting to take him. This is Arsenal, which in recent days closed the incorporations of midfielders Martín Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard.

For their part, recent rumors also indicate that Leverkusen would be thinking of making a low offer for the pivot of the azulgrana team. The Germans, apparently, would be willing to offer Barça about 20 million euros fixed plus another 10 in variables.

The 'colchoneros', on the other hand, would be more interested in negotiating a loan, since they could lose Rodrigo de Paul, who would be in talks to join Inter Miami.

In this way, the player who during the 2024/25 season participated in 36 matches (2,447), scoring 1 goal and assisting on 6 occasions, continues to generate expectations regarding his future.

Casadó is committed to staying at Barça, but the club does not close the door to his departure

Marc, however, has no intention of leaving Barça this year and has made that clear. The '17' hopes to make his entire career in the azulgrana team, but a 'top' offer and the tough competition for the starting position with those of Hansi Flick may make him change his mind.

In 25/26, Casadó starts as a substitute for Frenkie de Jong, with the extra competition of Marc Bernal after a year out due to injury. In fact, the Sant Pere de Vilamajor already suffered the lack of prominence in the final stretch of the previous year, after De Jong snatched the starting position from him.

For its part, Barça, although it does not want to push him to leave, would be willing to listen to offers for the midfielder. Thus, the Catalan team has already put a price on Marc. The player would have been valued at about 50 'kilos', although according to Transfermarkt his market value is about 30 M€.

The '17' has a contract as blaugrana until June 2028 with a termination clause of 100 'kilos', a price that could be assumed by teams with the checkbook like that of Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool. Could Casadó be the surprise departure of the summer? There is a lot of market left and anything can happen from now until August 31.
