Newcastle United targets Marc Casadó amid midfield reinforcement efforts

Summary

Newcastle United is exploring the possibility of signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó as part of their midfield reconstruction.

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.
