Each Sport: Tottenham asks about Cassado s situation, the player does not want to leave Barcelona

August 5th, Western media Daily Sports reported that Casardo is a player that has attracted much attention this summer window. Cassado has had very little playing time since January, and many clubs have asked about trying to sign him. Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in recent weeks, and another inquiry is Tottenham.

Tottenham hoped to strengthen the midfield and asked Casardo, but there is no further progress yet. Cassado does not want to leave Barcelona. Barcelona will only open the transfer door when they receive a quote that exceeds the market and the player himself is willing to leave the team.

Barcelona management and Frick himself have always said that there is an overstaffing situation in certain positions of the team. They want a huge squad, but not all players can get playing time, and they don’t want to hinder the possible upside of echelon players. Barcelona has made it clear that they are satisfied with all players and the lineup has been confirmed to be closed unless there is a offer that is beneficial to all parties.

Barca believes that after the first two rounds of the league in August, the situation will be much clearer because some players may even be excluded from the roster due to overstaffing. By then, maybe some players who are reluctant to leave now will be more open, but everyone is looking to stay in Barcelona for the moment, and they still haven't heard a higher offer for the financial treatment than at Barcelona.

Tottenham only tested this possibility, but they knew very well that Casador did not want to leave, so they had closed the negotiations and instead introduced Palinia on loan. Tottenham hopes to bring in one or two midfielders to restructure the team, which last season was disappointing in the Premier League but eventually won the Europa League.

Casado's valuation is EUR 30 million, and Barcelona is satisfied with its investment. But whether Frick trusts him is another matter, as the team plan is to have De Jong as the main midfielder and start giving him playing time after Bernal recovered from his knee injury in September. Bernal is the club's focus of training and is currently waiting for his satisfactory recovery.
