Chelsea are keen to sign 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 can complete the deal. They already have a quality midfield unit in Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
They believe the 22-year-old midfielder will add more depth and quality to the team. Casado will add defensive cover and work rate in the middle of the park. Casado has been labeled an ‘animal’ due to his style of play. Chelsea have scouted the young midfielder extensively and Casado could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for them.

Meanwhile, a report from Fichajes claims that Chelsea have examined several Barcelona players in recent months. It will be interesting to see if they can make the necessary additions.
Casado could improve Chelsea
They believe that Casadó would fit perfectly into their system and would also be an accessible target. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with a formal offer to complete the deal. Chelsea have already made contact regarding a potential transfer, but the transfer did not go through. They still want to get his signature.
The 22-year-old has shown his quality in Spanish football and he can succeed in the Premier League as well. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be able to convince the player to join the club. They have the financial muscle to entice Barcelona to sell Casado. The Spanish side have their own financial limitations and could be attracted to the idea of selling the young midfielder if a lucrative proposal is presented.
