Arsenal enquire over shock deal to sign Barca star Marc Casado

By on July 13, 2025

Arsenal have enquired about the possibility of signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado this summer amid reports he could be on the move, according to CaughtOffside.

The Gunners have been busy in the transfer market, already securing Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, and Christian Nørgaard.

Mikel Arteta’s side is determined to strengthen their squad across the board to compete on all fronts next season.

With the addition of these new faces, Arsenal are looking to build a squad that blends quality and depth.

CaughtOffside are reporting that Arsenal have now been alerted to the possible availability of Casado. The Gunners have made an initial enquiry over a possible deal with Barca wanting around £43m for their young star.

Casado, 21, has emerged as a prime target, especially with rumours swirling around his potential departure from Barcelona.

Casado is not without competition, as a number of Europe’s elite clubs have shown interest in the Spanish midfielder.

Premier League rivals also target Casado

The report claims that Manchester United and Chelsea are also showing a keen interest.

The Red Devils are said to be keen on replacing the underperforming Manuel Ugarte. Meanwhile, Chelsea are also monitoring the situation.

The Blues are in need of reinforcements after the injury struggles of Romeo Lavia, and Casado is seen as a viable replacement.

Casado is a dynamic defensive midfielder. His work rate, intelligence, and ability to disrupt opposition play are just a few of the attributes that have caught the attention of scouts.

Although his primary role is in midfield, Casado has demonstrated versatility by playing as a right-back and even as a centre-back.

This adaptability is something that will make him an attractive option for Mikel Arteta.

His ability to break up play, recover possession, and quickly transition from defence to attack with sharp, effective passes is seen as key to his game.

Casado’s defensive awareness and passing range have made him one of the most promising young talents in European football.

With his stock rising, it is clear why Arsenal are pursuing a deal.

If negotiations progress, the midfielder could be a valuable addition to Arteta’s squad for next season.

This summer, the race for Casado looks set to heat up, with Arsenal and their Premier League rivals preparing to make their moves.
