Bayer Leverkusen preparing €30m bid to tempt Barcelona into selling 21-year-old player – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have already made several additions to their team in this summer transfer window, and there are no new players expected to join Hansi Flick’s squad this summer.

However, the Catalans’ work in the transfer market is still not complete, as they need to facilitate some departures.

Among the players linked with a move away in recent weeks is midfielder Marc Casado, who made a name for himself last season by becoming an important figure for Flick, thanks to his commitment, maturity, and the solidity he brought to the midfield.

According to Fichajes, Leverkusen have identified Casado as a priority signing for their midfield rebuild under recently appointed coach Erik ten Hag.

The Bundesliga club is planning an ambitious new project after failing to retain their league title last season, and they are focusing on young, high-potential players who can deliver immediate impact.

The German side believes a €30 million offer might be enough to tempt Barcelona, who are under pressure to balance their books and complete player registrations before the start of the new La Liga season.

It remains to be seen whether this offer would satisfy Barcelona. Meanwhile, Marc Casado himself is focusing on his preseason training, and his entourage continues to monitor the moves different clubs are making for him.
