Premier League giants Chelsea are expected to make use of their upcoming meeting with Barcelona to initiate talks over a potential deal for Marc Casadó.
This comes amid long-standing interest on the part of the Blues in the Spanish international.
Chelsea, it is understood, are on the lookout for reinforcements in the middle of the park with a view to the 2nd half of the campaign.
And Casadó, boasting talent and youth alike, is according to **[Caught Offside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/11/14/chelsea-arsenal-transfer-hijack/)** considered the ideal profile of player.
Upon Barcelona making the trip to Stamford Bridge for a Champions League clash later this month, the expectation is in turn that the Chelsea board will attempt to kickstart discussions over a transfer.
Fellow Londoners Arsenal, meanwhile, are also credited with an interest in Casadó’s services.
As of yet, it is unclear if the 22-year-old would for his part be open to the prospect of a Premier League switch, having long made clear his unwavering commitment to the cause in Barcelona.
