Chelsea are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea are able to seal a deal. They already have a quality midfield unit consisting of Enzo Fernandes and Moises Caicedo.
They believe the 22-year-old midfielder will add further depth and quality to the squad. Casado adds defensive cover and work rate in the middle of the park. Casado has been labeled an “animal” because of his style of play. Chelsea have scouted young midfielders extensively and Casado could be a quality long-term signing for them.

Meanwhile, Fichajes reports that Chelsea have been keeping an eye on several Barcelona players in recent months. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the necessary reinforcements.
Casado could improve Chelsea
They believe Casado will fit well into their system and become an accessible target as well. It will be interesting to see if they make a formal offer to complete the deal. Chelsea had previously approached him about a possible move, but a move never materialized. They are still keen to secure his signature.
The 22-year-old has shown his quality in Spanish football and could very well be in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be able to persuade the player to join the club. They have the financial power to lure Barcelona into selling Casado. The Spanish team has its own financial limitations and could be attracted to the idea of selling the young midfielder if a favorable offer is presented.
