According to Italian journalist Lungari and Spanish journalist Jáve Campos, Barca have negotiated a deal for Milan midfielder Casey.

Casey's contract with Milan expires this summer and he will not renew it for now. Longari said Barca had reached a verbal agreement with Casey and was expected to waive the player this summer.
Spanish journalist Javi Campos said Barca were still in advanced negotiations with Casey, but said they had negotiated a deal with Chelsea defender Azpilicueta and would be exempt from signing this summer.
