"Chelsea will soon get an ideal opportunity to hold talks with Barcelona over a potential transfer deal for midfielder Marc Casado. The 22-year-old is a target for both Chelsea and Arsenal at the moment, as previously reported here for the Daily Briefing. Casado has shone for Barca without always being a regular starter, and he fits the bill in terms of being the kind of young player Chelsea like to recruit under this current ownership."
"However, we also know that Barcelona would need to agree to a sale, and that the Spaniard himself would have to agree to the move. Ultimately, it's too early to know for sure if either of those things will happen, but we expect Chelsea to try. The west London giants can sound out the situation in the coming weeks and get a clearer idea of Casado's availability and his future plans."
"It's also been recently reported that Chelsea want Barca CB Ronald Araujo, so that could be another name discussed if these two clubs do hold talks in the near future. CFC notably signed Marc Guiu from the Catalan giants recently, while they were also known to be keen on both Jules Kounde and Raphinha before they moved to the Nou Camp."
Chelsea will soon have an opportunity to hold talks with Barcelona about midfielder Marc Casado ahead of the Stamford Bridge game on Tuesday 25th November. The 22-year-old is a target for both Chelsea and Arsenal. Casado has impressed for Barcelona without always being a regular starter and fits the profile of young recruits sought under the current Chelsea ownership. Barcelona would need to agree to any sale and Casado himself would have to accept a move. Chelsea are expected to sound out Casado's availability and future plans in coming weeks. Arsenal are also likely to compete for his signature. Chelsea have also been linked with Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo and previously showed interest in Fermin Lopez.
