AC Milan have intensified recruitment efforts following their club-record €70m acquisition of Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain, with agent Jorge Mendes steering negotiations for Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó. The Italian club's streamlined decision-making structure, giving coach Rubén Amorim greater transfer authority, is leveraging Mendes' longstanding Milan connections.
Casadó, 22, is a Barcelona academy graduate and Spain international midfielder. He registered 34 appearances in La Liga this season but made only 15 starts, contributing one assist. The midfielder was elevated to Barcelona's senior squad in 2024 after progressing through their youth ranks.
Mendes' brokerage of both the Ramos and Casadó deals underscores his pivotal role in Milan's summer restructuring under new ownership. Multiple Spanish and Italian sources including Sportitalia have reported the club's active pursuit of the Barcelona midfielder.
If completed, Casadó's transfer would strengthen Milan's midfield depth in Serie A and European competition, potentially shifting both clubs' squad-depth odds; Barcelona would face further creative reinforcement needs in midfield.
