21-year-old ace Barca prodigy close to national call-up soon

FC Barcelona's 2024/25 campaign has been excellent so far. Having won 11 out of 12 La Liga matchdays while being in decent form in the UCL campaign, the Blaugrana club's performances have been sensational so far. While certainly, the seasoned stars have performed brilliantly this season so far, a key factor in their unstoppable run has been the way their prodigy stars have stepped up.

21-year-old ace Barca prodigy close to national call-up soon

One such name has been ace prodigy Marc Casado. Ahead of the 2024/25 season, there were a lot of speculations raised as to who would fill in Flick's double pivot system alongside Pedri, with Gavi and de Jong being injured. However, the way the 21-year-old prodigy stepped up has been extremely brilliant in Barca's favor. In fact, of all the players, Casado is one of the names that has made the best improvement this season.

Although the La Masia graduate was remarkable when he was called in the preseason, Casado has now become one of the best in his position, with his recent displays against top clubs Bayern and Real Madrid being the ultimate proof. Be it making crucial recoveries, key tackles, or bagging assists, Casado has been the one-stop solution for FC Barcelona this season.

While the star player has been given loads of praise by Barcelona fans for his brilliance, recent reports suggest that the player might have a big opportunity soon. Considering the pivot star's excellent form, Spain boss Luis de La Fuente is planning to hand Casado his senior team debut. Just having debuted some weeks before, for the National U21 side, this could be a major achievement for the player's career.

However, while certainly, this comes as a piece of positive news for the prodigy star, FC Barcelona would want to remain cautious for Marc Casado. As per Diario SPORT's reports, he is likely to be called up for the Nations League fixtures against Denmark and Switzerland, the same opponents against whom Barca star Lamine Yamal had taken heavy knocks this season.

Moreover, considering the track record of Barca's Spanish stars on national duty with injuries, certainly, the Blaugrana club should take the necessary precautions. Overall, the report finds well in the interest of ace prodigy Marc Casado, for whom Barcelona fans would hope to continue the same way ahead.
