FC Barcelona seems to have identified a potential replacement for Sergio Busquets as they approach the 2024/2025 season. After Busquets departed for Inter Miami following the club's last La Liga title win in 2023, Barcelona faced challenges in securing top midfield targets due to financial constraints. The club eventually settled for Oriol Romeu, who struggled with form and injuries before returning to Girona on loan.
During the preseason tour in the United States, young talents Marc Casado and Marc Bernal showcased their skills in the defensive midfield position. Their performances in matches against top clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid caught the attention of the coaching staff.
