Transfer 1+1: Premier League two players spend 40 million to compete for Barcelona midfielder Arsenal and Bayern are looking forward to renewing their contract to stay in the team

Blue and Red Army compete for Barcelona's new star

Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado. The 21-year-old was a regular mainstay under Hans Flick before his knee injury in March. After about two months of injury, Cassado can only serve as a substitute who has not been replaced in the last four games of the La Liga this season. Although his contract with the club is up to the summer of 2028, there seems to be uncertainty about his future in the team at the moment. Next season, Cassado may find it difficult to get a stable starting opportunity under the competition of Pedri, Garvey and Frankie De Jong. Mark Bernard is also about to recover from a long-term knee injury, which could cause Casador to fall further in Flick's roster. According to Spanish media reports, Chelsea and Liverpool may both provide the Spanish international with a way to leave Barcelona this summer. According to reports, both Premier League giants are willing to bid 40 million euros to sign Casador. Serie A champion Napoli and Bundesliga team Leverkusen also showed interest in signing the Barcelona teenager. Although Barcelona may consider selling, Cassado is more willing to stay with his academy parent team for the foreseeable future. However, he also knows that if he cannot play in regular games, it will be difficult to enter the Spanish team's 2026 World Cup roster.

Premier League Magic Wings refuses to transfer and will stay in the team

It is reported that Sanzao has expressed his willingness to stay in the team to Brighton Club, although he has previously had transfer rumors with Arsenal and Bayern Munich. This winter window, the Seagulls rejected a offer for the victory of Saudi professional league team Riyadh, but the outside world has been speculating whether he will leave the team in the summer window. Earlier this summer, it was reported that Arsenal listed Sansas as a candidate for signings for Real Madrid player Rodrigo. Bayern Munich also included the Japanese international on the transfer target list of the new left winger. However, Sanzao seems interested in rejecting all transfer offers and opting to stay at the American Express Community Stadium. According to British media reports, the 28-year-old player has informed Brighton that he hopes to stay in the team after the summer window is closed. He is also eager to renew his contract with the club, and his existing contract will expire in the summer of 2027. From Brighton's perspective, the club is ready to offer Sanzao a thicker contract to reflect his importance in the roster. Last season, the winger scored 10 goals and sent 4 assists in 36 Premier League games, helping the Seagulls finally finish eighth in the league.
