FC Barcelona is preparing the departure of Marc Casadó / Eldesmarque

Marc Casadó is increasingly likely to be one of the players of FC Barcelona to leave the club during this summer transfer window. The Catalan midfielder, 22 years old, knows he won't have the desired prominence under Hansi Flick and is already exploring destinations where he can play regularly.

Barça also sees a departure as favorable, as long as it helps free up salary space and leads to an economically interesting operation. Barcelona's priority would be a permanent transfer, although the market is leaning towards more flexible formulas.

Marc Casadó gaining strength as an option for AC Milan

The option of AC Milan has emerged strongly in recent days. Jorge Mendes, agent of Marc Casadó, is working the market to find an exit that satisfies the player and fits into the planning of the Catalan club.

The Italian team has just started a new cycle with Ruben Amorim as coach and is looking to strengthen its midfield. In this context, Casadó's profile is interesting due to his intensity, tactical reading, and training in a highly valued European school.

The issue lies in the operation format. FC Barcelona would prefer to receive over 20 million euros, but many interested clubs are currently offering only a loan with a purchase option. AC Milan could move precisely in that direction.

FC Barcelona needs to sell, but Marc Casadó sets the pace

Barça wants to resolve the situation as soon as possible, but Marc Casadó is not in a rush to decide. The academy player wants to be sure that the project he chooses will genuinely bet on him, not just as a squad complement but as an important player.

This stance has halted some paths. Offers from Saudi Arabia have been financially strong, but the player prioritizes continuing to compete in Europe. LaLiga also offers options, although the Spanish market progresses more slowly due to economic constraints.

In Spain, Betis emerges as a possibility to consider. The green and white club is awaiting sales and could only consider a creative formula, perhaps buying a percentage of the player, as they have done in other recent operations with Barça players.

Jorge Mendes shakes up the midfielder market

The figure of Jorge Mendes is key in this story. The Portuguese agent has been active in the Premier League, explored the French market, and also held talks with clubs seeking young midfielders with room for growth.

Monaco was one of the options explored, but it has not progressed. There is interest in Portugal, but the financial proposals fall short of Barça's expectations. Therefore, Italy is starting to gain significance as a more realistic scenario for the player.

For Casadó, the Italian championship could be a good platform. It is a tactical, demanding league with space for intense midfielders, capable of sustaining high pressures and organizing the team from interior positions. His adaptation, in theory, would make sense.

Marc Casadó could leave LaLiga this summer

The future of Marc Casadó is now entering a decisive phase. Barcelona needs income, the player seeks playing time, and AC Milan may become the most interesting option if they present a proposal in the coming days.

The operation, however, will not be automatic. The Italian club must free up space in its squad, and Barça must decide whether to accept a loan with a purchase option or continue to push for a permanent sale. Meanwhile, Marc Casadó calmly considers an exit that could take him away from LaLiga and start a new chapter in Italy.
