21-year-old defensive midfielder remains untouchable for Barcelona | OneFootball

So far this season, many players at FC Barcelona have been successful in finding a place for themselves in Hansi Flick’s team. Even the more inconsistent or unexpected players have stepped up to make the most of the opportunities that have been handed to them. As a direct consequence, this new Barcelona side is quite clearly a competitive machine through and through.

However, perhaps no player embodies that competitiveness and the mere essence of grabbing an opportunity fully than Marc Casado. The 21-year-old midfielder from La Masia has grown into a spectacular player for Barça this season, and has become a regular for Hansi Flick’s first team in this ongoing campaign.

His performances have been so spectacular that even club legend Sergio Busquets admitted to having been surprised by his displays and praised his presence within this Barcelona team. Moreover, the player’s performances have not gone unnoticed by various European sides, who have even expressed a desire to secure his talents,

However, retaining Marc Casado is a priority for Barcelona. According to SPORT, the young midfielder is considered to be untouchable for the club and he is completely non-transferable. Despite any and all interest that comes his way, both the player and the club are committed to one another.

Previously, Barcelona managed to secure the player’s renewal until 2028 under the promise of first team involvement. Ultimately, what has ended up happening possible surpasses even Casado’s wildest dreams before this season officially started.

Now a key player for Hansi Flick, he has turned out to be the answer to Barça’s defensive midfield problems. With five assists to his name so far this season, the young Spaniard is more than just a tenacious ball-winner, and his vision on the field has provided the team with some big moments in some significant games.

Premier League clubs, in particular, have reportedly been following Casado even from his time at Barcelona Atletic. Their reports regarding him have always been positive but his displays at the big stage are now grabbing extra attention. However, despite the fact that he is still on a youth salary and has a €100 million release clause, Barcelona want to act fast to ensure that they improve both of those things and avoid any complications in the near future.
