Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland, Brighton & Hove Albion are all fighting for Barcelona’s Marc Casadó.
That’s according to Sunday’s edition of the Mundo Deportivo, who covers the latest about these clubs, including Leeds, Sunderland and Brighton.
6 PL sides keen
On August 22nd, Sport Witness covered a report from Spain explaining that Nottingham Forest enter the battle. Barcelona have made him available in the market and want €30m. He’s also keen on changing clubs before Tuesday’s deadline.
Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland, Brighton & Hove Albion have now joined the Reds.
Mundo picks up on this and reports the six Premier League sides, along with Beşiktaş, AC Milan and RB Leipzig, are the 22-year-old’s suitors.
Among these, Oliver Glasner’s side seem to have taken the lead in the last few days. The newspaper makes no mention or suggestion of what Nottingham Forest did to get ahead in the transfer race.
Final decision awaited
Both Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli have offered €40m for the Spain international and this did please the La Liga winners. However, he rejected them and prioritised staying in Europe.
Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland, Brighton & Hove Albion and others are among his options.
Marc Casadó has to decide on his next club along with his agent, Jorge Mendes, in the next few days.
Another Spanish newspaper, AS, reports the Barcelona player ‘has offers from England, Turkey and Saudi Arabia’.
They don’t mention the details of the offers or about the English clubs that tabled these proposals.
Hansi Flick has left him out of his core plans this season, resulting in the Spaniard training away from the group.
With an uncertain future at the Camp Nou and offers on the table, Casadó and Mendes will carefully evaluate options and decide the next destination at the last minute.
In short, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland and Brighton have to wait until deadline day.
