Manchester United is gearing up for significant changes in the upcoming summer transfer window. Since taking over as head coach of the Red Devils last year, Ruben Amorim is looking to bring in players who fit his vision for the team. The midfield is receiving special attention, with a prime target being a product of FC Barcelona’s academy.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United is prepared to pay a hefty sum to acquire Marc Casado. The transfer fee could go as high as 80 million euros. Ruben Amorim is a strong advocate for signing the Spaniard, considering him the perfect reinforcement for the midfield. The 21-year-old is expected to team up with Kobbie Mainoo to form a dual playmaking partnership in the squad.
Currently, Casado enjoys regular first-team appearances at Barcelona. However, as sources indicate, his standing in the team could change once Marc Bernal recovers from injury and reclaims his spot as one of Hansi Flick’s preferred choices.
This scenario might lead Casado to explore other opportunities, creating an opening for Man United to present an irresistible offer to both the player and Barcelona. This season, Casado has made 33 appearances, scoring one goal and providing six assists. His current contract with Barcelona is valid until June 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at 30 million euros.
