Atletico Madrid offers Barcelona a swap deal to sign Marc Casado

Atlético de Madrid continues to insist on signing Marc Casadó. Although they have already been able to finalize a series of more than interesting additions, which promise to considerably improve the competitive level of the squad, Diego Pablo Simeone is not satisfied and asks for more.

And one of the names he has put on the table is that of the Barça star, who he believes has incredible conditions, and could be very important.

He intends to take advantage of the doubts that exist about his continuity at the Camp Nou, due to the fierce competition he has in his area, to convince him to follow the example of Clément Lenglet , Antoine Griezmann , David Villa, Memphis Depay or Luis Suárez.

He hopes that he will be the next star to leave the Blaugrana team to arrive at the Civitas Metropolitano, and he knows that Joan Laporta and Deco are willing to listen to offers.

He is not untouchable in Hans-Dieter Flick’s plans, and if a reasonable offer comes in, they could consider selling the midfielder born in 2003. Of course, that doesn’t mean they are willing to give him away, and only a convincing proposal would be enough to give them permission to negotiate with other clubs.

The problem is that Enrique Cerezo doesn’t dare to pay the more than 50 million euros they are demanding for the Spanish international.

Something that has caused Atleti to look for other methods to reach an agreement, and obtain the services of Casadó.

And the latest idea they have had is to offer a trading card exchange, where the other involved would be Conor Gallagher , with whom they are not satisfied, and they are already looking for a way out for him.

Because after only one season, Simeone is very disappointed, and believes that he will never be able to adapt to the style of play.

So he did not hesitate to recommend to the red-and-white board that they try their luck and try to reach an agreement with Barça, offering the former Chelsea or Crystal Palace player as a bargaining chip.

But Barça’s response was quick to arrive, telling Atleti that there was no option for Casadó to leave through a transfer. Laporta and Deco are only interested in obtaining significant financial compensation, and Gallagher is not a player who would fit into Flick’s systems.
