Napoli monitoring Barcelona’s Marc Casado

Serie A champions Napoli want to bolster their midfield in the summer as Stanislav Lobotka could depart. They are keeping a close eye on Barcelona’s Marc Casado.

This season, the midfielder has been left on the bench more than he would have liked. As a result, he has featured in less than 1000 minutes in La Liga.

AreaNapoli report that Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna is keeping a close eye on the Spaniard. He was being monitored even last summer but interest has grown because of how Casado’s season has gone so far.

English clubs are also interested in the 22-year-old but Napoli can hand Casado a starting spot if Lobotka leaves.

He has a massive €100 million release clause but Barcelona could accept much less due to their financial situation. His value is at around €30 million, which will only help Napoli in a possible summer deal.
