Casadó's Barcelona Dilemma: Stay or Go?
2 Aug
Summary
- Barcelona rejected a €10 million offer for Casadó.
- The club values the young midfielder at €30-40 million.
- Casadó wishes to remain in Europe despite interest.
Marc Casadó's future at Barcelona remains uncertain as the club's training camp concludes. Despite participating in pre-season preparations, manager Hansi Flick has conveyed that playing time will be scarce for the young midfielder. Casadó's situation is complicated by the presence of other midfielders like Marc Bernal, Pedri, Gavi, and Eric García.
Barcelona previously rejected a €10 million offer for Casadó before June 30, as the club holds a much higher valuation of €30-40 million for the 22-year-old. He is under contract until 2028 and has international experience with Spain.
Casadó played 2,447 minutes in 36 matches during the 2024-2025 season, a significant decrease from the 1,397 minutes in 34 games the previous season. He is hesitant to leave Barcelona, the club he joined at age 13, and prefers to stay in Europe.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, is actively seeking a new club, having dismissed interest from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal and Turkish clubs. Mendes aims to find an offer that meets Barcelona's valuation and Casadó's desire to remain in European football.
