Marc Casadó, a 22-year-old midfielder and current player for FC Barcelona, is nearing an exit in the final days of the transfer window, with Nottingham Forest now leading the race for his signing. The Blaugrana club is willing to negotiate for an amount ranging between 30 and 40 million euros.

The player's situation has changed over the summer. Casadó has fallen out of favor in Hansi Flick's plans, and the club has taken steps indicating a separation before the market closure. The midfielder was also not part of the squad for the pre-season triangular tournament against Udinese and Nottingham Forest.

The sports scenario has become even more complex for Marc Casadó. The player has been excluded from the regular dynamics of the first team along with Héctor Fort, and the number 17 jersey, worn during the Joan Gamper Trophy, has been passed on to Anthony Gordon, one of Barça's summer signings.

Casadó played 34 official matches last season, but was a starter in only 15. This loss of prominence has persisted during the preparation for the new season, and he was also left out of the squad for some matches, including the LaLiga opener against Elche.

FC Barcelona believes that his departure could generate significant revenue for a player developed in the youth academy. The valuation established during the summer ranges between 30 and 40 million euros, a sum that has also influenced discussions with interested clubs from other leagues.

Nottingham Forest takes the lead for Casadó

According to Graeme Bailey, a TEAMtalk journalist, Nottingham Forest is currently ahead of its competitors in securing Casadó. The English club has intensified its interest in the final stretch of the market and appears as the most likely destination within the Premier League.

However, the competition is fierce. Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton and Sunderland have been monitoring the midfielder. During the summer, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea also emerged, but none of those avenues turned into a finalized deal.

United has focused its efforts on Carlos Baleba, while Casadó had already ruled out some proposals from England because his priority is to find a team where he can regularly get playing time. The player aims to continue his career in Europe if he leaves Barça.

Saudi Arabia has also tried to sign him. Al Hilal made an offer rejected by the Catalan entity as it did not meet the requested amounts. The Saudi team remains interested in the player, but the European option continues to be the midfielder's priority.

The next move will depend on whether Nottingham Forest can turn its advantage into an offer close to the 30-40 million demanded by FC Barcelona. With the market entering its final days and LaLiga already underway, Marc Casadó faces a crucial week to finalize his exit and choose the club where he will continue his career.
