Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado has careworn his love for the membership within the face of rumours of switch curiosity from Chelsea.
21-year-old Casado is having fun with a breakout season at Barcelona below Hansi Flick, making 36 appearances throughout all competitions earlier than being struck down by a knee harm which has left him in a battle to return earlier than the top of the marketing campaign.
His spectacular type is claimed to have caught the attention of Chelsea, with experiences in Spain linking the Blues with a transfer for Casado which could possibly be price near €40m (£33.9m).
Whether or not such a proposal from the Premier League outfit ever materialises stays to be seen, however a latest interview noticed Casado open up on simply how a lot he loves representing Barcelona below Flick, suggesting any switch curiosity can be knocked again shortly.
“He has modified my life,” Casado advised AS of Flick. “He took me from the reserve group to the primary group.
“What I needed was to play soccer, particularly on this shirt.”
Casado was rewarded with a brand new four-year contract final summer season after making a handful of cameo appearances final season below former supervisor Xavi, and his profession has solely continued upwards since Flick’s arrival.
The brand new boss handed Casado 27 begins earlier than his knee harm. Whereas there was preliminary pessimism over his probabilities of including to that tally this season, there may be now a perception the younger midfielder could possibly be again in motion as early as this Sunday’s assembly with Actual Madrid.
“I have been on the pitch for some time now, and every part is responding,” Casado defined. “Everybody feels superb: physios, docs, and restoration employees. I might say I am healed and simply must prepare.”
