Newcastle United is exploring the possibility of signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó as part of their midfield reconstruction. The Magpies have already secured Nico Gonzalez for £48 million plus £4 million in add-ons but may seek additional depth, especially with Joe Willock's potential move to Besiktas. Casadó, 22, has not been included in Barcelona's squad and is being actively looked at by several clubs, including Nottingham Forest and Sunderland. While Barça's asking price is estimated at €30-40 million, discussions have yet to begin with Newcastle regarding a formal offer.
