Chelsea and Arsenal show huge interest in Barca star

One of Europe's biggest clubs — FC Barcelona — may once again secure a major profit in the summer transfer window. According to the reputable source Caught Offside, the Catalan club's talented and promising player Marc Casadó has attracted serious interest from two well-known English Premier League teams — London's Arsenal and Chelsea.

Marc Casadó is one of the young stars developed in Barcelona's academy, making his way from the reserve team to the first team. His technical skills, game intelligence, and ability to play in multiple positions have been highly praised by many experts. As a result, he is now in the spotlight not only in Spain but also across other European leagues.

Reportedly, Casadó's current contract with Barcelona includes a special clause that allows him to be transferred for €100 million. This clause has further intensified interest in the player, as the value of such young and talented footballers is expected to rise even more in the future.

Last season, Casadó played 36 matches for Barcelona B, scoring one goal and providing six assists. His versatility and reliability in both defense and midfield are among his main strengths. His contract with the club is valid until 2027.

Due to financial fair play regulations, Barcelona is being forced to sell some players. Therefore, the club’s management is looking to increase transfer income. Analysts say the financial pressure may force Barcelona to lower Casadó’s €100 million release clause. This could give clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea more room for negotiation.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is aiming to boost competition in his team’s midfield. He reportedly sees Casadó as a key pillar for the future. Meanwhile, Chelsea is continuing its policy of signing young talent. In recent seasons, the Blues have focused on building a new team through the acquisition of young players.

Such interest from top clubs indicates that Casadó may be about to start a new chapter in his professional career. As always, Barcelona is looking to profit from its academy graduates through smart transfer strategies. This helps ensure financial stability while also creating space for new talents.

The final decision will of course depend on the club and the player himself. But Casadó’s transfer is already becoming one of the most talked-about topics of the summer transfer market. If Barça agrees to lower the price, there’s a high chance that Marc Casadó will head to London in the coming weeks.
