Marc Casadó, a 22-year-old midfielder, could reactivate the transfer market at FC Barcelona as he must decide this summer between European offers and the interest from Al Ahli. The Barcelona club does not consider a loan and aims to receive a minimum of €25 million before the market closes.

The sports management believes the player will have few minutes next season and has asked his agent, Jorge Mendes, to analyze the available options. Casadó's contract extends until June 30, 2028, giving Barça room to negotiate the transfer.

Marc Casadó Must Choose Between Europe and Saudi Arabia

FC Barcelona has avoided hastening the sale by accepting offers below their valuation. The priority is to close a definitive deal and use the income to enhance the margin in the remaining market operations.

The minimum price set is €25 million, although competition may raise the amount. Clubs from England, Germany, and Italy have been monitoring the midfielder's situation, while only inquiries for a loan have come from Spain.

This approach is not part of Barça's plans. The club wants to turn the departure of Marc Casadó into immediate income and does not consider retaining his rights while the player spends a season at another LaLiga club.

Among the European alternatives, AC Milan, Stuttgart, and Manchester United have emerged. None of them have yet reached an agreement with the player or made a proposal accepted by the Barcelona club.

Casadó continues training at the sports city. If he does not find a destination in the coming days, he can join the preseason camp in England while Hansi Flick finalizes the squad.

Al Ahli Steps Up Interest in Marc Casadó

Al Ahli has increased contacts to understand the operation's conditions. Their sports director, Rui Pedro, seeks two midfielders after welcoming Franck Kessié and Enzo Millot as part of the midfield restructuring.

The Saudi club believes that Marc Casadó fits due to his ability to play as a defensive midfielder and help in ball distribution. Rui Pedro's relationship with Jorge Mendes could ease negotiations, though the player still needs to decide on competing in Saudi Arabia.

The representative was already involved this summer in bringing Francisco Trincão to the same team. This precedence offers a direct channel to address the player's salary conditions and the price requested by the Catalan club.

The operation will mainly depend on Casadó's decision. A Saudi offer could financially surpass European alternatives, but the midfielder also has options to continue playing in European leagues.

The Market Will Reactivate for Barça

The next step lies with Marc Casadó and Jorge Mendes, who must choose the destination and present a proposal to FC Barcelona. Al Ahli is preparing their move, but the operation will only progress when the player authorizes talks and a club meets the demanded €25 million.
