Bayer Leverkusen consider €30 million offer for Barcelona midfielder – report | OneFootball

Over the past few days, there have been some murmurs about the future of FC Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado.

After all, the Blaugrana are well-stocked in the midfield department, possibly making it difficult for the La Masia graduate to get regular minutes in the new season.

As such, there have been suggestions that Barcelona might be willing to let Casado go, as long as the player himself asks to leave.

Now, according to reports from Germany, as relayed by Fichajes, interest in Casado has grown across Europe, with several clubs identifying him as a high-potential talent already accustomed to the demands of top-level football.

And, at the front of the queue are Bayer Leverkusen. Under the management of Erik ten Hag, the German giants are pursuing an ambitious project following their Bundesliga title win two seasons ago.

They are specifically targeting young players capable of delivering immediate impact. Casado fits that profile perfectly, with his versatility in midfield seen as a major asset.

The report suggests that Leverkusen’s interest is serious, and they are preparing a €30 million offer to convince Barcelona.

While the operation is delicate due to the symbolic value the player holds within La Masia, Barcelona may be tempted to move forward if the financial terms are right.

For now, Casado remains focused on pre-season and is keeping a low profile. However, uncertainty surrounds his future.

The midfielder’s camp is aware that staying at Barcelona is far from guaranteed and is closely monitoring how talks develop. Bayer Leverkusen are preparing their first formal bid, confident that his arrival would be a major boost to their squad.
