Barcelona considers negotiating Marc Casadó with Chelsea after €50 million proposal
Barcelona could be forced to sell La Masia talent Marc Casadó to Chelsea after a €50 million (R$320 million) offer surfaced, according to reports from Fichajes.net.
Chelsea Pushes for Casadó
The Premier League club is prepared to invest heavily in the 20-year-old midfielder, who is currently part of Hansi Flick’s plans for the 2025/26 season. Barça president Joan Laporta initially resisted negotiations, but the financial impact of such a proposal could sway the club’s stance before the close of the transfer window.
Barça’s Financial Dilemma
The Catalan giants continue to grapple with La Liga’s strict 1:1 financial rule, which requires outgoing sales to balance incoming signings. While Marcus Rashford and Joan García have already been registered and debuted against Mallorca, two important players remain sidelined: Wojciech Szczesny and Gerard Martín.
Flick views Szczesny as García’s immediate backup and considers Martín ahead of Héctor Fort in the pecking order, making their registration essential for squad depth. A major sale, such as Casadó’s, could unlock that possibility.
Overcrowded Midfield
Barcelona’s midfield is already packed with Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Eric García, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal competing for spots. That depth raises further questions about Casadó’s long-term role at Camp Nou, despite his clear talent.
Casadó’s Position
The midfielder, however, is reluctant to leave. Casadó remains committed to Barça and believes he can contribute immediately under Flick. Still, Chelsea’s official approach in the coming days could reshape his career path and Barcelona’s transfer strategy.
