Chelsea has a concrete interest in 35 million pounds Sterling Barcelona Star, Maresca Personally Keen
Chelsea has a concrete interest in signing a “spectacular” Barcelona star, with Enzo Maresca personally passionate, and they could now be ready to submit an opening offer.
Blues wishing to strengthen options in the middle start of the season
After having won the qualification of the Champions League during the 2024-25 campaign, there was an expectation for the blues to launch this season, but it was a slow start, having taken only eight points from their first six games.
More recently, the Maresca team failed during a 3-1 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion, which led to speculations on the future of the manager, with Tony Cascarino de Talksport suggesting that the Italian could have trouble keeping his job in the long term.
Enzo Fernandez, the Argentinian rising on the match sheet, while Moises Caicedo was also solid, winning eight of the 12 duels he disputed and achieving three of the 12 duels he disputed and performing three plated.
However, according to a Spanish report, Chelsea remains eager to strengthen their options in the midfield, having a concrete interest in sign Marc Casado de Barcelona, and they could even be willing to submit an offer of 40 million euros (35 million pounds sterling) for its services.
Maresca is personally eager to sign Casado, having identified the need to bring a new central midfielder, and there are indications that the Spanish club could be open to a sale in the January transfer window.
Barça, given their well -documented financial problems, must release wages, but the midfielder previously expressed his desire to fight for his place, so he remains to be seen if they are open to a departure.
Casado “spectacular” may need to leave Barça this winter
Since the Liga Champions team is so talented, the Spaniard received an inconsistent match time this season, although he impressed when he gave the opportunity, winning a decisive pass in the categorical victory 6-0 against Valence.
Sergio Busquets was also very impressed by the young midfielder during the 2024-25 campaign, calling him “spectacular” last November.
The 22 -year -old figured in the majority of Barça’s Liga matches this season, but given his talent, it is not enough, so it would be logical to move to a new club this winter.
The signing of a new goalkeeper should be the number one priority of Maresca, given the departure that Robert Sanchez made in the season, more recently, who was sent during the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United.
However, if Chelsea decided to sign a new central midfielder, Casado has the capacity to succeed in Stamford Bridge, and costs in the region of 35 million pounds sterling feel fair, given its age.
