Casado has featured across 36 games this season so far, netting once and providing six assists. He is averaging 2.3 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, and 0.7 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The Spanish midfielder is better known for his defensive work in the middle of the park. He is always well-positioned to win back possession and intercept the emerging threads. He keeps things simple and maintains high intensity throughout the game.

Marc Casado can be a valuable player

Chelsea wanted to sign Marc Casado in the winter window but the player decided to stay at Barcelona and live his dream. However, he has fallen down the pecking order in recent times and has lost his starting place to Frenkie de Jong.

Sensing an opportunity to capitalize, the Blues have made an impressive offer to Casado. The English outfit are trying to tempt him with a good salary and a prominent role in the sporting project. However, it remains to be seen if the youngster will fancy leaving his boyhood club or not.

If Chelsea manages to pull off this deal, it will be a great signing for them. The 21-year-old can improve the Blues’ midfield immensely and help them win the games. Casado can be a long-term investment for the club as he is likely to improve with more experience.
