West Ham United Are Ready With €30 Million Offer For This Barcelona Player: Will He Be A Good Signing?
According to a report in Fichajes, West Ham United have stepped up their efforts to sign Barcelona’s young defensive midfielder Marc Casado. The East London club have started talks with the Catalan club and are reportedly ready to make an official offer in the coming days. Chelsea are also showing interest in the Spaniard, but have so far failed to take any concrete steps. That is why West Ham are currently considered to be at the forefront of this race.
Casado joined Barcelona’s academy in 2016 and became part of the first team last season. Hansi Flick gave him consistent opportunities in the early months as Frenkie de Jong was struggling with injury and poor form. The defensive midfielder played 36 matches and contributed to seven goals, as well as spent more than 2400 minutes on the field.
Now that the Dutchman has returned to full fitness and form, the 21-year-old Spaniard has fallen a little behind in the pecking order, but he still plays an important role in Flick’s plans. West Ham are willing to bid around €30 million as per the report, which could be a significant amount for Barcelona as the club are facing a financial crisis, and still need to sell players. This could force the Spanish giants to sell their talented player.
