The brass at Atlético Madrid remain keenly interested in bringing in a member of the midfield ranks at La Liga rivals Barcelona this summer.
That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Marc Casadó as the player in question.
Casadó’s name, suddenly, has of course emerged as a prominent one in the transfer chatter across Spain over the last 24 hours.
This comes amid the widespread understanding that, whilst continuing to work towards a return to the 1:1 financial rule, the 21-year-old has been identified as a prime candidate to be moved on.
Several members of the Barcelona board are of the opinion that, owing to an overbooking in Hansi Flick’s midfield, Casadó’s immediate sale would make sense.
And with as much in mind, another of La Liga’s leading clubs are keeping a close eye on the situation.
As per a report from Sport:
‘Atlético de Madrid are closely monitoring what might happen because he’s a player Simeone likes and would fit into his system.’
Atléti, in turn, are labelled as ‘very interested’ in a potential deal for Casadó.
