Casado’s priority is to remain with the La Liga champions, however, and will resist any attempts made by Barcelona to sell him.
Barcelona were able to register new signings Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford just in time for their La Liga opener against Mallorca on Saturday (August 16).
Fellow Premier League side Tottenham were previously linked with a move for Casado but ultimately decided to sign Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich.
