Barcelona midfielder set for pay rise as club plan to reopen talks with his new agent | Barca Universal

"As reported by SPORT, Barcelona are preparing to reopen renewal talks with Marc Casado after he joined forces with super agent Jorge Mendes. Casado had already agreed to extend his stay at the club in 2024 when he signed a new deal running until 2030. Those talks, however, were conducted under the guidance of his former agent, Jonathan Luque."

"His performances under Hansi Flick did not go unnoticed, and several major clubs expressed serious interest in signing him. Despite the tempting financial offers that could have arrived from such a move, Barcelona opted to keep hold of the midfielder. The final say, however, rested with Casado himself. At one point, Flick personally stepped in to speak with the young player about his intentions."

"Now represented by Jorge Mendes, the 22-year-old midfielder finds himself backed by one of the most powerful figures in European football and someone who enjoys close ties with Barcelona. According to the report, both sides plan to restart negotiations from scratch despite having already reached an agreement earlier in the year. Casado remains committed to continuing his career at Barcelona, and discussions are expected to include both a contract extension and a significant salary increase."

Barcelona are preparing to reopen renewal talks with Marc Casado after he joined super agent Jorge Mendes. Casado previously signed a deal in 2024 running until 2030 under former agent Jonathan Luque. During summer 2025 several major clubs showed serious interest in Casado, and Hansi Flick personally intervened to learn his intentions. After their conversation Casado decided to stay, and he stepped up following Pedri's injury, repaying the manager's faith. Now 22 and represented by Mendes, Casado is backed by a powerful agent with close Barcelona ties and negotiations will restart from scratch. Contract talks are expected to include an extension and a significant salary increase, with Deco supporting improved terms due to Casado's development under Flick.
