Barca withdrew from the battle for AC Milan midfielder Casey, and the players have still not yet determined the next home for the new season.
Ivorian international Casey's contract with Rossoneri expires in less than half a year, and if the two sides cannot reach an agreement on a contract extension, he will leave the San Siro stadium this summer as a free agent. The players have been clinging to the asking price for the new contract treatment of up to 8 million euros, while AC Milan is only willing to offer them a renewal offer with an annual salary of up to 6.5 million euros, and the prospects for negotiations are difficult to be optimistic.
Previous media sources have pointed out that the Rossoneri had agreed with Tottenham Hotspur on the transfer of players in the winter transfer window, but only due to the willingness of the players. Later, it was reported that la Liga giants Barca and Casey were close to agreeing on a signing, hoping to put him into Xavi's role as a free agent in the new season. Despite the rumors of the transfer, Casey's next home is still uncertain, and he has not received any offers other than AC Milan.
AC Milan management Maldini and Massala have basically decided not to raise their offers for a contract extension, but will still try to persuade them to stay until the last minute. Spanish media revealed that Barca have withdrawn from the battle for Casey, because the Catalans' financial situation is delicate and their midfield is not a position to continue to reinforce, so they have decided to give up trying. As things stand, multiple Premier League teams and Ligue 1 supremacy Paris Saint-Germain are more likely to be the next stop in Casey's career, and players are hoping to secure a high-paying contract through fierce competition between clubs.
