As the transfer deadline approaches, Aston Villa seems to be closer to one of their most important moves in the summer.
According to a report by Sports Witness El País, Villa is working to secure the service of Marc Casado, a 21-year-old midfielder from Barcelona.
So far, it’s a challenging window for the Unai Emery side. Despite their determination to strengthen the team, some of Villa’s pursuits remain unfulfilled.
However, Cassado’s situation in Barcelona offers an opportunity, and Villa is eager to make the most of it.
Aston Villa submits an offer to sign Marc Casado
The club’s hierarchy reportedly submitted a €30 million proposal to match Barcelona’s player valuation to speed up negotiations.
Villa’s ambitions do not end with a transfer fee. They are also preparing to offer Casado a lucrative contract that will give him four times his current salary, which shows how determined the Midlands Club is to take him to Villa Park.
For Casado, who grew up in the Barcelona system last season and entered the advanced stage, this decision was far from direct. Despite the temptation of the Premier League, the midfielder is also carefully considering his role and development opportunities.
Villas face Premier League rival Wolves
Casado made his debut in Barcelona’s 20 La Liga matches last season and also played seven of 10 Champions League matches, contributing one goal and six assists in all matches.
However, the villa is not alone. Several Premier League clubs are closely monitoring the situation, with Wolf Hampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspurs already appointed as one of his signature challengers.
So the last week of the transfer window could trigger a fierce battle, but for now, Vera is still optimistic to put the deal into practice.
