“Haven’t asked to initiate the deal” – Romano offers update on Milan’s Casado pursuit

Things are moving at AC Milan, but the club have not spoken to Barcelona about a deal for their academy graduate midfielder, Marc Casado.

There are plenty of things happening at Milan currently. After weeks of silence, they are now getting going this summer and they could even be ahead of the other teams around them in a certain regard. Indeed, things can change quickly.

The signing of Goncalo Ramos is a major reintroduction to the picture and the Rossoneri do not want to let that momentum slip. For that reason, Gerry Cardinale and Ruben Amorim met in Lisbon this weekend to discuss further targets.

Milan considering Casado move

A top defender now seems to be the priority, but Fabrizio Romano has not ruled out the addition of another midfielder, as MilanNews relays from his YouTube channel.

“Casadò will leave Barcelona this summer because he hasn’t played very much. It would be a huge gain for El Masia, but above all, he’s slipped down the ladder at Barca. The fact that Casadò could leave is true, just as the fact that he was one step away from joining Monaco isn’t.

“Keep an eye on Saudi Arabia, too, because there are possibilities for Casadò in Saudi Arabia. In this case, we need to understand whether the player is open to the possibility of going there or not. Of the many questions we’re receiving about AC Milan, I can tell you right now that no real negotiations have begun.

“It’s clear that when you talk to Jorge Mendes, there are a lot of names on the table. Mendes has a lot of clients, but at the moment, AC Milan hasn’t asked Mendes to initiate the deal for Casadò. I have no doubt that an offer has been made, but as of now, it’s neither in place nor concrete. We’re waiting.”

Considering Mendes’ supposed importance, the Diavolo will not need to do much to get things moving for the La Masia graduate.
