Everton are one of several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace, to have held conversations in recent weeks regarding Barcelona's 22-year-old Spanish midfielder Marc Casadó's situation. Despite this widespread interest, none of these clubs have progressed to submitting a formal offer. TEAMtalk reports that Monaco is now ahead of the English clubs and is working to finalise a deal understood to be worth in excess of £20 million. Sources indicate the Ligue 1 side is increasingly confident of securing the player, who is said to be interested in a move that would offer him regular first-team football as Barcelona look to sell players to restructure their squad. In the 2025/2026 LaLiga season, Casadó made 24 appearances and provided one assist. He has two caps for the Spanish national team, and his contract with Barcelona is set to expire in June 2028. His current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m. In June 2026, rumoured fees for a potential transfer have been reported in the range of €18 million to €23 million, while reports from January 2026 cited a €50 million asking price from Barcelona.
