"It appears the youngster is not interested in the prospect of moving to Turkey and starting a new chapter in his career. Instead, Casado wants to remain at Barcelona and fight for his place in the starting eleven. This is despite the fact that the Spaniard is no longer Hansi Flick's first-choice option in midfield. The midfielder has fallen behind not only Frenkie de Jong but also Eric Garcia in the pecking order."
"Although Pedri's recent injury could bring him back into focus, the former will return in a month. Keeping that in mind, Barcelona are not expected to stand in the way of Casado, should he decide to leave the club in the summer transfer window. Casado, though, will be mindful of the fact that Flick is always open to giving opportunities to players who perform rather than having a set formula."
Marc Casado has rejected a move to Galatasaray and intends to remain at Barcelona to fight for a midfield spot. The midfielder has fallen behind Frenkie de Jong and Eric Garcia in the pecking order under Hansi Flick. Pedri's recent injury could open opportunities, but Pedri will return in about a month. Barcelona are not expected to block a potential summer departure, though Casado prefers to stay and earn opportunities by performance. Flick tends to reward form rather than fixed selections. Upcoming matches could prove pivotal for Casado to reclaim his place.
