There will be a fight between Liverpool and Manchester United to sign Marc Casado, a 21-year-old defensive midfielder from Barcelona.

Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Marc Casado, a 21-year-old defensive midfielder from Barcelona. There has been a lot of good feedback about the midfielder from many teams. Scouts have praised his passing range and ability to set the pace of the game at such a young age.

After coming up through Barcelona’s academy, Casado has only made 18 starts for Hansi Flick’s team so far. His latest games, though, have shown that he is becoming one of Flick’s most important players this season. Given Barcelona’s money problems this summer, it’s not too surprising that other teams are interested.

The Catalonian team doesn’t feel much pressure to get rid of the young Spanish player because his deal isn’t up until 2028. However, other clubs are looking at him and are seriously interested, so anything could happen.

According to sources who spoke to CaughtOffside, Liverpool is very interested in Casado. The Reds see him as someone who could make an immediate impact and play a key part in the midfield for Arne Slot and his system.

The price for the 21-year-old player has not been announced, but Casado has been promoted to the first team and his value on Transfermrkt has gone from €2.5 million in June to €15 million now. It makes sense that the Spanish team would want a huge fee to get rid of the young midfielder.
