Atletico Madrid have renewed interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado. Atletico president Enrique Cerezo allegedly contacted Barcelona president Joan Laporta in mid-April to reaffirm the club’s interest. Barcelona expects a busy summer transfer window and may need to sell players to generate revenue, making Casado a likely candidate to be discussed. Barcelona has already monitored Atletico’s interest, and Laporta passed the matter to sporting director Deco. Deco has held informal discussions with Casado and will assess the situation over the coming weeks. Casado’s profile is valued by Atletico manager Diego Simeone, but Casado wants to remain at Barcelona and has maintained a professional attitude despite reduced minutes.
"However, Casado wants to remain at Barcelona. The player has already held discussions with the club and has expressed that, despite his limited playing time and understanding that he may be considered available for transfer, Barcelona will continue to be his first choice. Casado has never shown frustration despite receiving fewer minutes this season."
