Chelsea ready to revive Barcelona star's stalled career with bold summer swoop | OneFootball

Chelsea is looking to sign the Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been a long-term target for the London club, and they wanted to sign him a year ago. However, the player chose to remain with his boyhood club at the time. The situation has changed now, and he has struggled for regular opportunities at the Spanish club this season.

According to reports from Spain, Casado is now open to leaving the La Liga outfit, and moving to Chelsea could be interesting for him. The Blues are looking to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park. They believe that the 22-year-old midfielder could be a reliable backup option for Moises Caicedo.

The player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is currently working intensively to find a suitable club for his client. It remains to be seen whether the move to Chelsea appeals to the player.

He will want to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Chelsea will need to provide a defined role to the player. Meanwhile, the midfielder is valued at €26 million. Chelsea believes that the asking price is reasonable, and they have the resources to get the deal done as well. The player has the physical and technical attributes for English football, and he could prove to be a solid investment for the London club.

Chelsea is now hoping to capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding his future to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the move in the coming months. They are confident that the 22-year-old could be a good fit for their midfield unit.

Chelsea are pushing for Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and a top-four finish will certainly help them attract quality players like Casa Do/.
