The dorsal dance points to another exit at Barça. Anthony Gordon now has an official number with Barcelona and will wear the 17, the number that belonged to Marc Casadó. LaLiga has confirmed the registration of the English winger along with Rodri and Karim Adeyemi, while the 22-year-old midfielder is currently without a number and faces a scenario that increasingly indicates his exit from the club.

Gordon keeps Marc Casadó's 17

The decision confirms what had already been seen during the preseason. Gordon played his first minutes as a Blaugrana using the 17, although at that time the number still officially belonged to Casadó. The Englishman had already chosen that number during his debut against Basel, waiting for Barça to resolve the situation of the academy player.

Now LaLiga has definitively registered Gordon with the 17, while Rodri will wear the 16, Adeyemi the 14, and Christensen the 15. The move has a direct consequence for Casadó: the midfielder is left without a spot in the first team.

Casadó's situation is not new. Barça had already informed the player that he could seek an exit during this transfer window, and the player did not participate in the trip to Basel, along with other players whose future was still to be resolved.

Casadó, getting closer to leaving Barcelona

The number 17 is now a new sign that Barcelona is preparing Casadó's departure. The midfielder has a contract with the club until 2028, but his future has been open for weeks, and there are several teams interested in securing his services.

The issue for Casadó is that the arrival of Rodri has increased the competition even further in his position. The Spanish international is expected to occupy the starting central midfielder position under Flick, while Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Gavi, and Marc Bernal are also part of the midfield rotation.

Casadó was already involved in a similar situation in recent weeks. Barça believes it can obtain a significant amount for his departure, and various reports have placed the selling price at around 40 million euros.

The move indicating his departure

Casadó has not participated in the recent matches, and the club has registered the Englishman with that number to officially start the season. Additionally, Jorge Mendes is managing Casadó's future, and there are proposals from various markets, including an offer from Saudi Arabia. However, the midfielder prioritizes continuing his career in Europe, according to information published this Saturday.

The situation now puts Casadó in front of an important decision. Barcelona has already given his number to Gordon and has not assigned him another spot on the team. If the situation does not change in the upcoming days, the academy player will have to find a new destination before the market closes to continue his career away from the Camp Nou.
