Tottenham Hotspur is closely watching the situation of Barcelona’s upcoming star Mark Cassad. Thinking about a summer dive for the 21-year-old midfield talent.
According to a report from Spanish outlet sports, the North London Club approached Cassad early, but negotiations are expected to be not easy.
Highly praised among Barcelona youth setup and La Macia’s brightest alumni, Cassad made a strong impression early last season before injuries and increased competition thwarted his involvement.
Despite his 36 appearances, the second half of his campaign was disrupted by muscle damage in March.
Mark faces an uncertain future in Barcelona
Under Hansi Flick, the future of Casado remains uncertain. While the German manager values the discipline and tactical intelligence of the young midfielder, he also expresses concern over unit congestion, especially in the middle of the central area.
With new arrivals and returning Roney busy positions, a decision could be made soon, especially if players are competing in Flick’s early season plans.
For now, Barcelona has been reluctant to lose Casadow and is not actively seeking sales. The player has signed a contract until June 2028, with the Catalan club reportedly setting a asking price of around 30 million euros (£26 million).
Cassad leaving Barcelona for Tottenham?
More importantly, Cassad himself is currently not seeking any movement and is pleased to remain at Know Camp to restore full fitness and fight for his place.
The move may not be imminent, but Cassad’s situation could evolve quickly depending on how Flicks frame his team during the opening week of the La Liga Liga season.
If Barcelona is open for negotiations, the Spurs are expected to return with more specific suggestions.
