The FC Barcelona transfer market enters a crucial phase with Marc Casadó, a 22-year-old midfielder, and Roony Bardghji, a 20-year-old Swedish winger, not included in the squad traveling to Udine to compete in a triangular against Udinese and Nottingham Forest this Saturday. Their absence comes as the club works on their potential departures.

Casadó did attend the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper this Saturday but left the facilities before the rest of the team set off on the trip. His situation has been pending a decision for several weeks, and this recent development further increases the chances of him leaving Barça before the market closes, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

FC Barcelona expects over 30 million for Marc Casadó

The player closest to securing his future is Marc Casadó. Al Hilal already made an initial proposal in July, but FC Barcelona rejected it, deeming it below the midfielder's valuation.

The club's financial stance remains firm. Barça aims to receive over 30 million euros and, if negotiations progress, targets to approach 40 million. As he is a product of the academy, his sale would have a direct impact on the club's finances.

The discussions between Casadó and Al Hilal are more advanced than those between the two clubs. There is good rapport between the player and the Saudi side, but the latter still needs to meet Barcelona's demands for his departure.

His sporting situation has also changed. During the previous season, Casadó saw reduced playing time under Hansi Flick, and Barça's negotiations to sign Rodri Hernández reinforce the competition in an area where several alternatives are already available.

Roony Bardghji also likely to leave

The other absentee in the Udine trip is Roony Bardghji. The 20-year-old winger is not guaranteed a significant role in Flick's squad, and the club believes he needs regular playing time to continue his development.

Bardghji arrived at FC Barcelona from Copenhagen in the summer of 2025, but a season later, he is back on the market. Competition on the flanks has intensified, and the Swedish player might struggle to get the minutes he seeks in the 2026/27 season.

Barça is considering various options for his future. Possibilities discussed in recent weeks include a loan or a transfer that allows the club to retain some control over the player through a buy-back option or a percentage of any future sale.

Two pending departures in FC Barcelona Transfers

Casadó and Bardghji's absences in Udine come as the transfer window is nearing its end. Neither player travels to face Udinese and Nottingham Forest, while the sports management continues to seek resolutions for both cases.

For Casadó, the next steps will depend largely on Al Hilal and whether they increase their offer to exceed the 30 million euros demanded by the club. With Bardghji, there is no such advanced operation yet.

FC Barcelona is now approaching the final moves with two players whose futures are in doubt. Casadó has ongoing negotiations that could accelerate in the coming days, while Bardghji must find a proposal guaranteeing him more minutes before the market closes.
