Marc Casadó faces a decisive summer to stop being a player for FC Barcelona after losing prominence within Hansi Flick's plans. The 22-year-old midfielder wants to keep fighting for a spot, but the intense competition in Barcelona's midfield has led the club to consider him among the main candidates to generate income.

The club believes that his youth, formation in La Masia, and experience at the highest level allow them to demand a significant amount. According to MundoDeportivo, the initial evaluation ranges between €30 and €40 million, a figure that would turn his transfer into almost entirely profitable for Barcelona's accounts.

Marc Casadó loses space in Barcelona's midfield

The sports situation of the homegrown player has become complicated due to the accumulation of alternatives in his position. Flick has players like Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Marc Bernal, Fermín López, and other profiles capable of playing at the base of the play.

Within that hierarchy, Marc Casadó currently starts at a disadvantage. The German coach values his intensity, tactical discipline, and commitment, but he cannot guarantee him the minutes he needs to continue growing during a particularly important stage of his career.

The player is under contract until June 30, 2028, so FC Barcelona is not obligated to accept a reduced offer. The sporting direction understands that they still have room to negotiate and aims to leverage the interest generated in different markets.

The homegrown player still wants to convince Flick

Despite being on the way out, Casadó has not given up on continuing. His initial intention is to complete the preseason, compete for an opportunity, and see if he can change his position within the sports planning.

The scenario, however, does not seem easy. To have continuity, he would need to surpass several midfielders who have more support from the coach while the club needs significant sales to make new signings and improve their salary margin.

Jorge Mendes seeks offers for Marc Casadó

Jorge Mendes, the player's representative since 2025, is tasked with finding a solution. The Portuguese agent has a close relationship with the Barcelona board and has already started conversations with different clubs to explore all possibilities.

The goal is to find a destination that combines sporting prominence and good economic conditions. The player's priority is to compete regularly, although the final proposal must also meet the demands of a club that aims to bring in a minimum close to €30 million.

The involvement of Jorge Mendes may be crucial in bridging positions. His extensive network of contacts facilitates the appearance of suitors, but the high price set by Barça reduces the number of European teams capable of carrying out the operation.

Saudi Arabia presses for the midfielder

The Saudi financial capacity would allow reaching the requested amounts and offering the midfielder a significantly higher salary. However, Casadó will need to consider whether he accepts leaving European football at just 22 years old when he is still in a full stage of sporting development.

Interest from Saudi Arabia benefits Barcelona as it may increase the bidding and speed up negotiations. However, there is currently no formal proposal reaching €40 million, an amount with which the club would be willing to quickly finalize his departure.

The outcome will depend on the preseason, the offers Mendes can bring, and the player's personal decision. The club needs to make money, Flick cannot promise him a key role, and the Saudi market is willing to persist. In this scenario, Marc Casadó becomes one of Barcelona's most likely sales in the coming weeks.
